— A force control device with high power and high resolution is developed. It consists of a spring and a small force actuator which are connected in parallel between the base pla...
— We describe algorithms to build self-assembling robot systems composed of active modular robots and passive bars. The distributed algorithms are based on locally optimal matchi...
— This paper presents an integrative approach to solve the coupled problem of reaching and grasping an object in a cluttered environment with a humanoid robot. While finding an ...

—Dynamic system-based motor primitives [1] have enabled robots to learn complex tasks ranging from Tennisswings to locomotion. However, to date there have been only few extension...
— To achieve accurate and efficient interaction with humans, robot training is indispensable to make robot cooperate with different host. We are focusing on development of a huma...

— We present a fast integrated approach for online segmentation of images for outdoor robots. A compact color and texture descriptor has been developed to describe local color an...
— In this paper we outline a grasp planning system designed to augment the cortical control of a prosthetic arm and hand. A key aspect of this task is the presence of on-line use...
