Object grasping is a typical human ability which is widely studied from both a biological and an engineering point of view. This paper presents an approach to grasp synthesis inspi...
Online trajectory generation for robots with multiple degrees of freedom is still a difficult and unsolved problem, in particular for non-steady state locomotion, that is, when th...
We study a reaching movement controller for a redundant serial arm manipulator, based on two principles believed to be central to biological motion control: multireferential contro...
Autonomous mobile robots need to adapt their behavior to the terrain over which they drive, and to predict the traversability of the terrain so that they can effectively plan thei...

Traditionally, two alternative design design approaches have been available to engineers: top-down and bottom-up. In the top-down approach, the design process starts with specifyin...
Abstract: We describe a methodology for creating new technologies for assisted living in residential environments. The number of eldercare clients is expected to grow dramatically ...

Many robotics tasks require a robot to share the same workspace with humans. In such settings, it is important that the robot performs in such a way that does not cause distress t...
