— This paper presents a standing balance controller. We employ a library of optimal trajectories and the neighboring optimal control method to generate local approximations to th...
— We study a path planning problem which arises when multiple robots are used to gather data from stationary devices with wireless communication capabilities. Each device has a g...
— The ability of mobile robots to generate feasible trajectories online is an important requirement for their autonomous operation in unstructured environments. Many path generat...
— In nature, animal groups achieve robustness and scalability with each individual executes a simple and adaptive strategy. Inspired by this phenomenon, we propose a decentralize...
— Visual servoing schemes generally employ various image features (points, lines, moments etc.) in their control formulation. This paper presents a novel method for using boundar...
— We investigate the problem of a robot maximizing its long-term average rate of return on work. We present a means to obtain an estimate of the instantaneous rate of return when...
— Piezoelectric cantilevers have proved their performances for actuating microgrippers dedicated to micromanipulation and microassembly tasks. While the control of one degree-of-...
— This paper proposes a novel wearable interface for the foot: an on-shoe tactile display that enables users to obtain information through the sense of touch of their feet. A 16-...

— Tool-body assimilation is one of the intelligent human abilities. Through trial and experience, humans are capable of using tools as if they are part of their own bodies. This ...
— This paper presents a new method for planning motions of multi-arm systems in constrained workspaces, for which state-of-the-art planners behave poorly. The method is based on ...
