Abstract— We derive a local minimum of an elastic potential energy due to the deformation of a hemispherical soft fingertip, and propose a quasi-static manipulation algorithm us...
— A great challange in robotics is to make robots more like humans. One important aspect is to make robots move like humans and recognize their motions. Both tasks are based on h...
Abstract— Nanomanipulation using Atomic Force Microscope (AFM) has been extensively investigated for many years. However, control of tip position during nanomanipulation is still...
— In this paper we demonstrate path planning for our formation space that represents permutation-invariant multirobot formations. Earlier methods generally pre-assign roles for e...
Abstract— Landmark-based graphs are a useful and parsimonious tool for representing large scale environments. Relating landmarks by means of feedback-control algorithms encoded i...
Abstract Climbing robots that climb flat structures using suction cups or magnets are commonly described in the literature. However, robots that can autonomously find randomly plac...
- This work aims to demonstrate the feasibility of using Electro-Rheological Fluid (ERF) actuators in orthotics, creating a new breed of rehabilitation devices. ERFs are fluids tha...

— The exoskeleton robot, serving as an assistive device worn by the human (orthotic), functions as a humanamplifier. Setting the human machine interface (HMI) at the neuro-muscu...
