Abstract— Biological systems achieve amazing adaptive behavior with local agents performing simple sensing and actions. Modular robots with similar properties can potentially ach...
— This video introduces the demonstration of skillful manipulation using a high-speed robot system. The system consists of visual and tactile sensors at a rate of 1 kHz and a hig...
— This paper proposes the use of optical flow from a moving robot to provide force feedback to an operator’s joystick to facilitate collision free teleoperation. Optic flow i...
