—Learning control is a concept for controlling dynamic systems in an iterative manner. It arises from the recognition that robotic manipulators are usually used to perform repeti...
Maintainability is an important issue in design where the accessibility of certain parts is determined for routine maintenance. In the past its study has been largely manual and l...
In this paper we consider the structural properties of the dynamics of robotic manipulation systems of a rather general class, including multiple cooperating, possibly whole-arm l...
—Three dimensional vision applications, such as robot vision, require modeling of the relationship between the two-dimensional images and the three-dimensional world. Camera cali...
Using redundant sensors, the direct kinematics of general parallel manipulators is here decoupled and reduced to an orientation problem only. The accuracy of the decoupling depend...
1 - This paper discusses an architecture designed to provide support for the development of state transition models for an object-oriented distributed environment. The state transi...

This paper presents a method of vision-based reinforcement learning by which a robot learns to shoot a ball into a goal, and discusses several issues in applying the reinforcement...
Programmable parts orienting is an important capability for exible automation systems. Here we study how a part grasped in an unknown orientation by a force-controlled robot can b...
2 Multi-view Integration: A Review We address the problem of constructing a boundary model of an object when the input consists of a set of points that lie on its surface. We assum...
