— We present results of successful telemanipulation of large, heavy objects by a humanoid robot. Using a single joystick the operator controls walking and whole body manipulation...
— In this work a novel control method is presented for controlling the forward speed and apex height of a special class of running quadruped robot, with a dimensionless inertia o...
— In this paper a novel multipart control is developed for a trotting quadruped robot. The control is designed to drive the quadruped to a steady-state motion with desired forwar...
— Facing new tasks, the conventional rigid design of robotic joints has come to its limits. Operating in unknown environments current robots are prone to failure when hitting unf...
—Managing user expectations of personal robots becomes particularly challenging when the end-user just wants to know what the robot can do, and neither understands nor cares abou...
People detection and tracking is a key issue for social robot design and effective human robot interaction. This paper addresses the problem of detecting people with a mobile robo...
—In this paper, we study how a humanoid robot can learn affordance relations in his environment through its own interactions in an unsupervised way. Specifically, we developed a...
