– We address the problem of knee pathology assessment by using screw theory to describe the knee motion and by using the screw representation of the motion as an input to a machi...
— Target tracking among obstacles is an interesting class of motion planning problems that combine the usual motion constraints with robot sensors’ visibility constraints. In t...

— We introduce the concept of Ecology of Physically Embedded Intelligent Systems, or PEIS-Ecology. This is a network of heterogeneous robotic devices (PEIS) pervasively embedded ...

Abstract— In this paper, we present an algorithm for manipulability based trajectory generation for any serial manipulator that has an inverse kinematic model that can obtain all...

Abstract— This paper describes the online generation of trajectories for omnidirectional walking on two legs. The gait can be parameterized using walking direction, walking speed...
Abstract— Inter-component communication has received considerable attention by robotic software architects as various frameworks and toolkits have matured. While the resulting pl...
