Robots must complete their tasks in spite of unreliable actuators and limited, noisy sensing. In this paper, we consider the information requirements of such tasks. What sensing a...
This paper describes the design and implementation of functionally distributed control architecture for real-time control of robot systems. Robot systems must control several func...
: This paper discusses the general concept of the Super Mechano-System, or SMS and its anticipated applications. The SMS is a new type of robot system, which can transform its shap...
- Time optimal control method for quadruped walking robots are developed and installed into a practical robot system. Each leg is modeled as a two link manipulator whose time optim...
— 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...
— New technologies and processes enhance the need for direct human-robot-interaction, to fully exploit the potential of robots’ accuracy and humans’ adaptability. Therefore, ...
