Simulating Muscle-Reflex Dynamics in a Simple Hopping Robot
Abstract In legged systems, springy legs facilitate gaits with subsequent contact and flight phases. Here, we test whether electrical motors can generate leg behaviors suitable for...

SVMs for Vibration-Based Terrain Classification
When an outdoor mobile robot traverses different types of ground surfaces, different types of vibrations are induced in the body of the robot. These vibrations can be used to learn...

Experimental Simulation of Manipulator Base Compliance
Many future applications of robotic systems will require manipulators to operate from moving vehicles. Such vehicles will be compliant in comparison to the rigid bases on which mo...

Design of a Hydraulic Robot Shoulder Based on a Combinatorial Mechanism
In previous papers, I have argued that while parallel mechanisms are well known for their favorable structural properties, their utility is generally limited by an inherently small...

Balancing of a Planar Bouncing Object
While most previous work in planning manipulation tasks relies on the assumption of quasi-static conditions, there can be situations where the quasi-static assumption may not hold...
