There is a close relationship between harmonic functions { which have recently been proposed for path planning { and hitting probabilities for random processes. The hitting probab...
This paper addresses the performance of force-reflecting interfaces ("haptic displays"). We suggest that an important measure of performance is the dynamic range of achi...
This paper describes some initial steps towards sensor based path planning in an unknown static environment. The method is a based on a sensor-based incremental construction of a o...
At the intersection of robotics, computational geometry, and manufacturingengineering, we have identifieda collection of research problems with near-term industrial applications. ...
Assembly accuracies of 0.05-0.1 mm, needed for electronic product manufacture, are attainable with current automated manufacturing equipment. Aggressive electronic system designs ...

This paper presents a new approach to accurate and reliable dead-reckoning with mobile robots. The approach makes use of special properties of our recently developed Multi-Degreeo...
We study the problem of computing the set F of accessible and stable placements of a spider robot. The body of this robot is a single point and the legs are line segments attached...
