Robot task switching under diminishing returns
— We investigate the problem of a robot maximizing its long-term average rate of return on work. We present a means to obtain an estimate of the instantaneous rate of return when...

Characterization, modeling and robust control of a nonlinear 2-dof piezocantilever for micromanipulation/microassembly
— Piezoelectric cantilevers have proved their performances for actuating microgrippers dedicated to micromanipulation and microassembly tasks. While the control of one degree-of-...

Modeling tool-body assimilation using second-order Recurrent Neural Network
— Tool-body assimilation is one of the intelligent human abilities. Through trial and experience, humans are capable of using tools as if they are part of their own bodies. This ...

Roadmap composition for multi-arm systems path planning
— This paper presents a new method for planning motions of multi-arm systems in constrained workspaces, for which state-of-the-art planners behave poorly. The method is based on ...

Gendered voice and robot entities: Perceptions and reactions of male and female subjects
— There is recent evidence that males and females view robots differently, from the way robots are conceptualized, to the way humans respond when they interact with them. In this...

Mutual localization in a multi-robot system with anonymous relative position measures
— We address the mutual localization problem for a multi-robot system, under the assumption that each robot is equipped with a sensor that provides a measure of the relative posi...

Dynamics morphing from regulator to oscillator on bipedal control
— A stable non-linear oscillator for autonomous biped stepping control is designed in a top-down manner by morphing dynamics of standing regulator. It resolves three problems whi...
