— We present adaptive admittance control of a robotic manipulator, with uncertain dynamic parameters, operating in a constrained task space. To provide compliance to external for...
— Soft robotic systems have applications in industrial, medical, and security applications. Many applications require these robots to be small and lightweight. One challenge in d...

— Our prior work [1] presented a decentralized algorithm for coordinating the construction of a truss structure out of multiple components. In this paper, we discuss adaptation i...
— Although robot navigation in indoor environments has achieved great success, robots are unable to fully navigate these spaces without the ability to operate elevators, includin...

Abstract— Gait evaluation techniques that use Stokes’s theorem to integrate a system’s equations of motion have traditionally been limited to finding only the net rotations ...
— This work addresses the task of designing the optimal survey route that an autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) should take in mine countermeasures (MCM) operations. It is assum...
