— An omni-directional moving platform with four wheels is developed and its controller is designed for tracking desired trajectories. The four wheels of the platform are torque c...
Abstract— We have experimented with different neural network based architectures for bio-inspired self-organizing texture and hardness perception systems. To this end we have dev...
— This paper addresses the problem of exploring an unknown environment with a team of mobile robots. The key issue in coordinated multi-robot exploration is how to assign target ...
— This paper deals with robotic micro-assembly of silicon micro-objects whose sizes are tens of micrometers. This production means is one of a more promising approach to realize ...
—This paper proposes a method for near-optimal navigation of high speed mobile robots on uneven terrain. The method relies on a layered control strategy. A high-level planning la...
— A long cherished goal in artificial intelligence has been the ability to endow a robot with the capacity to learn and generalize skills from watching a human teacher. Such an ...
— There is a great effort during the last decades towards building robotic devices that are worn by humans. These devices, called exoskeletons, are used mainly for support and re...
— Laser induced convection flows is a new and promising method to achieve better manipulation of mesoscale objects (above 1 µm and below 500 µm) in a liquid medium. The temper...
— Motion and path-planning algorithms often use complex cost functions for both global navigation and local smoothing of trajectories. Obtaining good results typically requires c...
