Velocity Dependence in the Cyclic Friction Arising with Gears
Recent research on friction in robot joints and transmission systems has considered meshing friction a position-dependent friction component. However, in this paper we show experi...

Isotropic Design of Spatial Parallel Manipulators
In this paper, we study the isotropic design of two types of spatial parallel manipulators: a three-degrees-of-freedom manipulator and the Stewart

Persistent Passive Hopping and Juggling is Possible Even With Plastic Collisions
We describe simple one-dimensional models of passive (no energy input, no control), generally dissipative, vertical hopping and oneball juggling. The central observation is that i...

Time Optimal Trajectories for Bounded Velocity Differential Drive Vehicles
This paper presents the time optimal trajectories for differential drive vehicles in the unobstructed plane. The wheel angular velocities are bounded, but may be discontinuous. Th...

Deformable Free-Space Tilings for Kinetic Collision Detection
We present kinetic data structures for detecting collisions between a set of polygons that are moving continuously. Unlike classical collision detection methods that rely on bound...

Morse Decompositions for Coverage Tasks
Exact cellular decompositions represent a robot's free space by dividing it into regions with simple structure such that the sum of the regions fills the free space. These de...

Sensor-based Coverage of Unknown Environments
The goal of coverage path planning is to determine a path that passes a detector over all points in an environment. This work prescribes a provably complete coverage path planner ...
