This paper describes an approach to surface identification in the context of mobile robotics, applicable to supervised and unsupervised learning. The identification is based on ana...
Abstract— This paper examines the novel use of a sawtooth surface with simple planar and symmetric vibration for unidirectional micro-parts feeding. In micro-parts feeding, to dr...
Part feeders, which singulate and orient parts prior to packing and insertion, are critical components of an assembly line. Existing feeders utilize o -plane vibrations of a rigid...
We present a novel locomotion strategy called legless locomotion that allows a round-bodied legged robot to locomote approximately when it is high-centered. Typically, a high-cent...

— We present a novel, simple algorithm for mobile robot navigation. Using a teach-replay approach, the robot is manually led along a desired path in a teaching phase, then the ro...
