—In this paper, the design, analysis, and development of a sixteen-legged palm-sized climbing robot using flat bulk tacky elastomer adhesives as an attachment method is presente...
— We present an approach to path planning for manipulators that uses Workspace Goal Regions (WGRs) to specify goal end-effector poses. Instead of specifying a discrete set of goa...

—Soaring is the process of gaining energy from the atmosphere in-flight using an aerodynamic free-flying platform. Dynamic soaring utilizes the energy available in vertical wind ...
— Mobile platforms equipped with several steering wheels are known to be omnidirectional, i.e., able to independently translate and rotate on the plane. As an improvement to this...
