In this paper we describe an unsupervised robot learning method which is based on the robot learning a mapping between sensors and trajectory velocities. This enables the robot to...
This paper studies motion planning from one zero velocity state to another for a three-joint robot in a horizontal plane witha passive revolute third joint. Such a robot is small-...

Development of Quadruped Robot which has a high mobility performance provides a significant challenge to the robotics engineer. MEL HORSE II is aimed to be such an experimental ro...
We consider the robot exploration of a planar graphlike world. The robot's goal is to build a complete map of its environment. The environment is modeled as an arbitrary undi...

In a recent paper we have presented a method for image-based navigation by which a robot can navigate to desired positions and orientations in 3-0 space specified by single images...
We address the fundamental issue of fully automated design (FAD) and construction of inexpensive robots and their controllers. Rather than seek an intelligent general purpose robo...

— Assisting humans in their daily lives requires robots to be proficient in manual tasks and effective in communicating states/intentions with human users. This paper advocates ...
The actions of a robot like lifting an object are often best thought of as low-level processes with uncertain outcome. A highlevel robot plan can be seen as a description of a task...
Abstract. The connectivity of the con guration space has been a valuable concept in the motion planning for single robots in both known and unknown terrains. We show here that n-co...
