We describe a hybrid planar image-based servo algorithm which, for a simplified planar convex rigid body, converges to a static goal for all initial conditions within the workspac...
Techniques for interactive 3D manipulation of articulated objects in cluttered environments should be geometricallyaware, going beyond basic inverse or forward kinematics to allow...
Flexible parts feeding techniques have recently begun to gain industry acceptance. However, one barrier to effective flexible feeding solutions is a dearth of knowledge of the und...

This paper presents a novel method for quickly filtering range data points to make object recognition in large 3D data sets feasible. The general approach, called "3D cueing,...
In our previous work we have shown that walking can be implemented on quadrupeds with sti legs and only one actuated degree of freedom in the hip, based on the concept of controll...

This paper obtains feedback stabilization of an inverted pendulum on a rotor arm by the "method of controlled Lagrangians". This approach involves modifying the Lagrangi...

The vibratory bowl feeder is the oldest and still most common approach to the automated feeding (orienting) of industrial parts. In this paper we consider a class of vibratory bow...
