— There is much to gain from providing walking machines with passive dynamics, e.g. by including compliant elements in the structure. These elements can offer interesting propert...
Abstract. In this paper we report preliminary findings of using cellular automata (CA) as an underlying architecture in controlling the motion of a fivelegged brittle star typed ro...
: This paper presents a general rst-order kinematic model of frictionless rigid-body contact for use in hybrid force motion control. It is formulated in an invariant manner by trea...

We report on the design and analysis of a controller which can achieve dynamical self-righting of our hexapedal robot, RHex. We present an empirically developed control procedure ...
Abstract-- Formation control experiments are performed using two robots, each equipped with a camera. When both robots are fully informed of the reference velocity, a decentralized...
