Towards a dynamic actuator model for a hexapod robot
We describe a model predicting the output torque of the battery-amplifier-actuator-gear combination used on the hexapod robot RHex, based on requested PWM (PulseWidth-Modulation) ...

A kite and teleoperated vision system for acquiring aerial images
In times of disaster acquiring aerial images is challenging. Runways may be crippled thus denying conventional aircraft in the area from taking off. Also the time required to sch...
