— While underactuated robotic systems are capable of energy efficient and rapid dynamic behavior, we still do not fully understand how body dynamics can be actively used for ada...
We introduce a novel combinatorial optimization problem: the one-commodity traveling salesman problem with selective pickup and delivery (1-TSP-SELPD), characterized by the fact th...
This paper studies the quasi-static motion of large legged robots that have many degrees of freedom. While gaited walking may suffice on easy ground, rough and steep terrain requi...

Multi-robot area coverage poses several research challenges. The challenge of coordinating multiple robots’ actions coupled with the challenge of minimizing the overlap in covera...
— In this paper, multiple on-board sensors are used to assess the terrain safety in real-time during spacecraft descent. A linguistic, fuzzy rule-based reasoning engine is used t...
