— The desire for a high mobility-to-size ratio in mobile robots has led to the exploration of many new methods of locomotion, one of which is tumbling. To the authors’ knowledg...
— In this paper we introduce a friction observer for robots with joint torque sensing (in particular for the DLR medical robot) in order to increase the positioning accuracy and ...
— We present a topological navigation system that is able to visually recognize the different rooms of an apartment and guide a robot between them. Specifically tailored for sma...
— Cabled robotic systems have been used for a diverse set of applications such as environmental sensing, search and rescue, sports and entertainment and air vehicle simulators. I...

— This paper proposes an optimal gait generation framework using virtual constraint and learning optimal control. In this method, firstly, we add a constraint by a virtual poten...
— The design procedure for a totally decoupled XY flexure parallel kinematic manipulator is presented in this paper. The designed XY stage is featured with flexure hinges and a...
Abstract— In their interactions with the world robots inevitably face equivalent action choices, situations in which multiple actions are equivalently applicable. In this paper, ...
— In this paper we propose a new feature detection algorithm to enable junction recognition intended for high speed reactive navigation in tunnel like environments. We also prese...
