Abstract— The goal of developing algorithms for programming robots by demonstration is to create an easy way of programming robots that can be accomplished by everyone. When a de...
Abstract— This paper presents Meld, a programming language for modular robots, i.e., for independently executing robots where inter-robot communication is limited to immediate ne...

— This paper considers the problem of allocating tasks among robots that operate on a 3D truss. Each robot is commanded to navigate to a different location for work. When the inf...
Abstract— In this paper we present a case study of cooperation of a strongly heterogeneous robot team, composed of a highly articulated humanoid robot and a wheeled robot with la...
— This paper presents the development of a contact interaction-based navigation strategy for a biped humanoid robot with the aim of supporting current visual-based navigation. Th...

— Localization for low cost humanoid or animal-like personal robots has to rely on cheap sensors and has to be robust to user manipulations of the robot. We present a visual loca...
Abstract— This paper describes the design of a fast longjumping robot conceived to move in unstructured environments through simple feed-forward control laws. Despite the apparen...
