— This paper reports some recent analysis and modeling results obtained while developing a tele-robotic system for minimally invasive surgery of the throat. One of the main enabl...
— 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...
: Locomotion and navigation of a surface walking/climbing robot – Planar Walker, based on a novel planar 8-bar mechanism are studied. The robot moves on a surface through decoupl...
