Many robotics tasks require a robot to share the same workspace with humans. In such settings, it is important that the robot performs in such a way that does not cause distress t...
Abstract Assistive mobile robots that autonomously manipulate objects within everyday settings have the potential to improve the lives of the elderly, injured, and disabled. Within...
In this paper, the development of a three-dimensional (3-D) odometry system for wheeled robots on loose soil in an application of planetary exploration is described. When a wheele...
Abstract In this paper, we present a human-robot teaching framework that uses "virtual" games as a means for adapting a robot to its user through natural interaction in a...
In this paper a system, which is driven through natural language, that allows operators to select and manipulate objects in the environment using an industrial robot is proposed. I...
Developing a robust, flexible, closed-loop walking algorithm for a humanoid robot is a challenging task due to the complex dynamics of the general biped walk. Common analytical ap...
Legged robots are useful in tasks such as search and rescue because they can effectively navigate on rugged terrain. However, it is difficult to design controllers for them that ...
Robot Security is becoming more and more a serious issue for many modern applications. Robot Security matters are still not intensively addressed in the published literature. The ...
Several researchers, present authors included, envision personal mobile robot agents that can assist humans in their daily tasks. Despite many advances in robotics, such mobile ro...
