Teams of autonomous space robots are needed for future space missions such as the construction of large solar power stations and large space telescopes in earth orbit. This work fo...
In this work we develop a novel method, or mechanism, of energy transfer in a quadruped running robot. The robot possesses only one actuator per leg, for lower weight and greater ...
This paper presents a new method to analyze the stability of a general class of mobile robot path tracking algorithms taking into account explicitly the computation and communicat...
We aim at developing ultralight autonomous microflyers capable of freely flying within houses or small built environments while avoiding collisions. Our latest prototype is a ...

—In this paper the first haptic display capable of applying a true impulse to the operator is presented. The applied impulse results in an immediate change of the user’s momen...
Abstract— Robot imitation is a useful and promising alternative to robot programming. Robot imitation involves two crucial issues. The first is how a robot can imitate a human w...
