— Knot tying poses a challenge to robotic and human manipulation due to the need to regrasp a flexible string. Without sensing, it becomes nearly impossible to guess where the s...
— This paper investigates the scenario of a robot making a tradeoff between tracking a time-varying reference trajectory and stopping to communicate at points where the radio sig...
— With the goal of developing biologically inspired manipulation strategies for an anthropomorphic hand, we investigated how the human central nervous system utilizes the hands r...
— Target tracking has two variants that are often studied independently with different approaches: target searching requires a robot to find a target initially not visible, and ...
— After several years of developing multiple RoboCup small-size robot soccer teams, our CMDragons robot team achieved a highly successful level of performance, winning both the 2...

— We consider the problem of optimal control in continuous and partially observable environments when the parameters of the model are not known exactly. Partially Observable Mark...
— A good motion model is a prerequisite for many approaches to simultaneous localization and mapping. Without an absolute reference, it is however difficult to prevent drift whe...
—Capsule endoscopy is a promising technique for diagnosing diseases in the small intestines. Here we propose a miniature swimming mechanism that uses MRI’s magnetic fields for ...

—In this work, we explore the mechanical behavior of gecko hairs by means of macromodels. The macromodel has four spatular hairs operating by magnetic forces instead of van der W...
— In this paper, we propose a new concept — the “Reciprocal Velocity Obstacle”— for real-time multi-agent navigation. We consider the case in which each agent navigates i...
