Integrating sensors into robot systems is an important step towards increasing the flexibility of robotic manufacturing systems. Current sensor integration is largely task-speci...
An implementation of a biped robot which as capable of dynamic walking by a simple nonlinear control algorithm. is presented. Four D.C. servo motors actuate the knee and ankle joi...
This paper examines the stability of the exible-object impedance controller when coupled to an arbitrary passive environment. A simple representative system is developed to study ...
This paper addresses the question “Can the object be pushed from here to there?” We characterize the set of objects that are controllable (can be positioned arbitrarily), with...
A generic architecture for evolutive supervision of robotized assembly tasks is presented. This architecture , at different levels of abstraction, functions for dispatching action...
