The authors have proposed a dynamic turning control system of a quadruped robot by using nonlinear oscillators. It is composed of a spontaneous locomotion controller and voluntary...
This paper examines the role of grasper compliance and kinematic configuration in environments where object size and location may not be well known. A grasper consisting of a pair ...
This paper proposes a real-time, robust and efficient three-dimensional (3D) model-based tracking algorithm. A virtual visual servoing approach is used for monocular 3D tracking. T...
This paper discusses the application of robotic technologies to an evacuation assistance task. We describe how this kind of task differs from the more prevalent search and rescue ...
Whether they are asked to polish or assemble parts, clean the house or open doors, the future generation of robots will have to cope with contact tasks under uncertainty in a stabl...

An important component of compliant motion control is the estimation of contact states during task execution. This paper addresses two fundamental questions that must be answered w...
This paper proposes a subjective map representation that enables a robot in a multiagent system to make decisions in a dynamic, hostile environment. A typical situation can be fou...
Acquiring models of the environment belongs to the fundamental tasks of mobile robots. In the past, several researchers have focused on the problem of simultaneous localization an...
