—Collision safety between humans and robots has drawn much attention since service robots are increasingly being used in human environments. A safe robot arm based on passive com...
Fast-paced dynamic environments like robot soccer require highly responsive and dynamic locomotion. We present an implementation of an omnidirectional ZMP-based walk engine for the...
Dynamic stability is an important issue for vehicles which move heavy loads, turn at speed, or operate on sloped terrain. In many cases, vehicles face more than one of these chall...
—We present new results on reconstruction of the shape and motion of an unknown object using tactile sensors without requiring objectimmobilization. Arobotmanipulatestheobjectwit...
— A hybrid controller that induces stable running gaits on a monopedal robot is developed. The robot features a rigid leg with a revolute knee and a heavy torso with center of ma...
