— This paper gives new motion generation methods for mechanical port-Hamiltonian systems. First, we propose a generation method based on an asymptotic stabilization method withou...
— Studies of primate locomotion have shown that the head and eyes are stabilized in space through the vestibulo-collic and vestibulo ocular Reflexes (VCR, VOR). The VOR is a refl...

Abstract—In this paper, we investigate design and performance of a flapping mechanism which generates flapping motion through resonant excitation similar to flight apparatus o...
Abstract— Many recent deployments of environmental sensor networks have focused on obtaining measurements across large and inhospitable areas. With increasing scale it becomes im...
Abstract— In this paper we address the problem of determining the relative pose of pairs robots that move on a plane while measuring the distance to each other. We show that the ...
- In this work, we describe an autonomous mobile robotic system for finding and investigating ambient noise sources in the environment. Motivated by the large negative effect of am...
— One of the most basic capabilities for an agent with a vision system is to recognize its own surroundings. Yet surprisingly, despite the ease of doing so, many robots store lit...

Abstract— In this paper we present a new Navigation Function for a sphere world that can be computed locally with limited knowledge of the environment. By requiring smooth and no...
