— In applications such as space and surgical robotics, the use of thin, lightweight manipulators and cable-driven endeffectors results in flexibility of the manipulator. In bila...
— Robots’ interaction with humans raises new issues for geometrical reasoning where the humans must be taken explicitly into account. We claim that a human-aware motion system ...

— Many factors such as size, power, and weight constrain the design of modular snake robots. Meeting these constraints requires implementing a complex mechanical and electrical a...

— In this paper we build an imitation learning algorithm for a humanoid robot on top of a general world model provided by learned object affordances. We consider that the robot h...
— One might expect that after nearly 50 years of research in robot manipulation and mobile robotics the architectural design of robot systems has converged to a small set of best...
— The purpose of evaluation procedures is to achieve both qualitative and quantitative statements on haptic rendering realism and performance. Since a haptic interface provides a...

Abstract— Real-world robotic environments are highly structured. The scalability of planning and reasoning methods to cope with complex problems in such environments crucially de...
— In this paper we present a systematic study of the performance of seven different configurations of GPS on a moving vehicle using three different GPS receivers. The seven diff...
— Locomotion on an irregular surface is a challenging task in robotics. Among different problems to solve to obtain robust locomotion, visually guided locomotion and accurate foo...
