— This work presents the design, fabrication, and testing of a novel hexapedal walking millirobot using only two actuators. Fabricated from S2-Glass reinforced composites and fl...
— In this paper, the development of humanoid robot HRP-3 is presented. HRP-3, which stands for Humanoid Robotics Platform–3, is a human-size humanoid robot developed as the suc...
Abstract— In performing various kinds of tasks, body representation is one of the most fundamental issues for physical agents (humans, primates, and robots). Especially during to...
—This paper presents two experiments with Electric Field Servoing for robotic manipulation. In the first, a robot hand pre-shapes to the geometry and pose of objects to be graspe...
— Underwater operations present unique challenges and opportunities for robotic applications. These can be attributed in part to limited sensing capabilities, and to locomotion b...
Abstract— Perceiving human faces is one of the most important functions for human robot interaction. The active appearance model (AAM) is a statistical approach that models the s...
— This paper presents a vision based method for grasp classification. It is developed as part of a Programming by Demonstration (PbD) system for which recognition of objects and...
