This paper builds on the combination of robotic path planning algorithms and molecular modeling methods for computing large-amplitude molecular motions, and introduces voxel maps a...
A Riemannian-geometry approach for control and stabilization of dynamics of object manipulation under holonomic or non-holonomic (but Pfaffian) constraints is presented. First, pos...
Mobile robots are increasingly entering the real and complex world of humans in ways that necessitate a high degree of interaction and cooperation between human and robot. Complex ...

This paper proposes a three-dimensional biped dynamic walking algorithm based on Passive Dynamic Autonomous Control (PDAC) which is previously proposed. The robot dynamics is model...
To improve on current methods of minimally invasive surgery, research is being carried out on systems that will permit procedures to be conducted on the micro-scale using remotely ...

The design of a hierarchical planning system in which each level operates in parallel and communicates asynchronously is presented. It is shown that this Parallel Hierarchical Repl...

When operating in partially-known environments, autonomous vehicles must constantly update their maps and plans based on new sensor information. Much focus has been placed on devel...
Abstract-- During needle-based procedures, transitions between tissue layers often involve puncture events that produce substantial deformation and tend to drive the needle off cou...
Abstract-- This paper presents a method to associate meanings to words in manipulation tasks. We base our model on an affordance network, i.e., a mapping between robot actions, rob...
