Affordances encode relationships between actions, objects and effects. They play an important role on basic cognitive capabilities such as prediction and planning. We address the p...

Abstract--This paper introduces a model-based approach to estimating longitudinal wheel slip and detecting immobilized conditions of autonomous mobile robots operating on outdoor t...
The interplay between robotics and neuromechanics facilitates discoveries in both fields: nature provides roboticists with design ideas, while robotics research elucidates critical...

Advanced, synthetic haptic virtual environments require textured virtual surfaces. We found that texturing smooth surfaces often reduces the system passivity margin of a haptic sim...
Abstract--This paper addresses the challenging problem of finding collision-free trajectories for many robots moving toward individual goals within a common environment. Most popul...
-- This paper presents the theoretical analysis and the experimental validation of the force sensing capabilities of continuum robots. These robots employ super-elastic NiTi backbo...
We present a method for inferring the topology of a sensor network given nondiscriminating observations of activity in the monitored region. This is accomplished based on no prior ...
