— Robotic microhandling is a promising way to assemble microcomponents in order to manufacture new generation of Hybrid Micro ElectroMechanical Systems (HMEMS). However, at the s...
— An active cannula is a medical device composed of thin, pre-curved, telescoping tubes that may enable many new surgical procedures. Planning optimal motions for these devices i...
—This work presents a methodology to generate dynamically stable whole-body motions for a humanoid robot, which are converted from human motion capture data. The methodology cons...

—A collective of robots can together complete a task that is beyond the capabilities of any of its individual robots. One property of a robotic collective that allows it to compl...
— This paper presents a decentralized planning method for generating dynamic whole body motions of multilink robots including humanoids. First, a robotic system will be modeled a...

Abstract— Road network information (RNI) simplifies autonomous driving by providing strong priors about driving environments. Its usefulness has been demonstrated in the DARPA U...
Abstract— This work presents the control of multiple untethered rectilinear magnetic micro-robots (Mag-µBots) with dimensions 250 × 130 × 100 µm3 actuated by pulsed external ...
— This paper presents a novel image based detection method for pedestrians at very small scales (between 16 x 20 and 32 x 40). We propose a set of new distinctive image features ...
