Development of Quadruped Robot which has a high mobility performance provides a significant challenge to the robotics engineer. MEL HORSE II is aimed to be such an experimental ro...
In this paper we propose a new model for gripping parts with an industrial parallel-jaw gripper. In contrast to many previous models, we use two grip points and define candidate g...

Current manufacturing methods for robotic-controlled assembly rely on accurate positioning to ensure task completion, often through the use of special xtures and precise calibrati...
Abstract-- We present an approach to vision-based mobile robot localization, even without an a-priori pose estimate. This is accomplished by learning a set of visual features calle...
Abstract: This paper presents a novel design of a Jiegged "spider" robot capable of moving in a wide range of two-dimensional tunnels. The spider moves in a quasistatic m...
