— This paper presents a dynamic and distributed reconfiguration planning algorithm for chain-type selfreconfigurable robots, by which a robot can autonomously self-reconfigure fr...
— Beating heart procedures promise significant health benefits to patients but the fast motion of the heart poses a serious challenge to the surgeon. Robotic motion synchroniza...
— A new visual servoing method based on B-mode ultrasound images is proposed to automatically control the motion of a 2D ultrasound probe held by a medical robot in order to reac...
— Capitalizing on advances in CMOS and MEMS technologies, microrobots have the potential to dramatically change many aspects of medicine by navigating bodily fluids to perform t...
Abstract— Jumping can be a very efficient mode of locomotion for small robots to overcome large obstacles and travel in natural, rough terrain. In this paper we present the deve...
– This paper presents a new singularity robust and computationally efficient method for solving the inverse kinematics (IK) problem. In this method, the transformation from Carte...
— Successful multi-target tracking requires locating the targets and labeling their identities. For the laser based tracking system, the latter becomes significantly more challen...
