Development of a Lightweight, Underactuated Exoskeleton for Load-carrying Augmentation
- Metabolic studies have shown that there is a metabolic cost associated with carrying load [1]. Several leg exoskeletons have been developed by various groups in an attempt to aug...

On the Treatment of Relative-pose Measurements for Mobile Robot Localization
— In this paper, we study the problem of localization using relative-state estimates. It is shown, that when the same exteroceptive sensor measurement is processed for the comput...

Discrete Approximations to Continuous Curves
Abstract— We consider the problem of approximating a continuous curve by a piecewise linear one whose segments are assumed to be connected by universal joints. Rather than taking...
