— It is generally accepted that locomotion in animals is based on a trade-off between energy consumption and stability. However, this trade-off is the result of the interaction b...
— In this paper, the design of a new active cardiac stabilizer, Cardiolock2, is presented. Following the proof of concept Cardiolock [7], this device allows an active stabilizati...

— The goal of motion planning is to find a feasible path that connects two positions and is free from collision with obstacles. Path sets are a robust approach to this problem i...
— In this paper a novel implementation of the saliency map model on a multi-GPU platform using CUDA technology is presented. The saliency map model is a wellknown computational m...
— Human beings can perceive object properties such as size, weight, and material type based solely on the sounds that the objects make when an action is performed on them. In ord...
— As mobile robotics is gradually moving towards a level of semantic environment understanding, robust 3D object recognition plays an increasingly important role. One of the most...

— The reduction of the kinematics and/or dynamics of a high-DOF robotic manipulator to a low-dimension “task space” has proven to be an invaluable tool for designing feedback...
— Prior research in biology and mechanics has shown the importance of hierarchy to the performance of dry adhesive systems on rough surfaces. The gecko utilizes several levels of...
