— In this work we tackle the road sign problem with Reservoir Computing (RC) networks. The T-maze task (a particular form of the road sign problem) consists of a robot in a T-sha...

— This paper presents a new updating algorithm to reduce the complexity of computing an observability index for kinematic calibration of robots. An active calibration algorithm i...
— For a mobile robot it is critical to detect and compensate for slippage, especially when driving in rough terrain environments. Due to its highly unpredictable nature, drift la...
— Selective data return leverages onboard data analysis to allocate limited bandwidth resources during remote exploration. Here we present an adaptive method to subsample image s...
— We present a high-level language for programming modular robotic systems, based on locally distributed predicates (LDP), which are distributed conditions that hold for a connec...

— The adhesive and frictional properties of dry adhesive materials can be described by a three-dimensional limit surface in the space of normal and tangential contact forces at t...

— Many surgical robots use cable-conduit pairs in a pull-pull configuration to actuate the instruments and transmit power into the patient’s body. Friction between the cable an...
Abstract—This paper presents a hierarchical control architecture that enables cooperative surveillance by a heterogeneous aerial robot network comprised of mothership unmanned ai...
