— This paper proposes a universal stability criterion of the foot contact of legged robots. The proposed method checks if the sum of the gravity and the inertia wrench applied to...
— This paper presents a global localization technique for a robot with only linear and angular odometers. The robot, whose configuration is composed of its position and orientat...
– This paper presents the motion analysis, design and position control of a novel, low cost, sliding micro-robot, which is actuated by centripetal forces generated by robot mount...
– We present a lab-based, student-taught robotics course at Carnegie Mellon University entitled Fun With Robots. The course does not require background knowledge of robotics, and...

— We present a first attempt to accomplish a simple object manipulation task using the self-reconfigurable robotic system swarm-bot. The number of modular entities involved, th...
— Mobile robots have successfully solved many real world problems. In the following we present the use of mobile robots to address the novel and challenging problem of providing ...
- In this work we address the problem of perception, spatial cognition and topological navigation for a mobile robot. The objective of this work is to enable the navigation of an a...
— When a network of robots or static sensors is emplaced in an environment, the spatial relationships between the sensing units must be inferred or computed for most key applicat...
Abstract— The vibratory bowl feeder remains the most common approach to the automated feeding (orienting) of industrial parts. We study the algorithmic design of devices on the b...
