Stiffness Isn't Everything
Most robot designers make the mechanical interface between an actuator and its load as stiff as possible[9][10]. This makes sense in traditional position-controlled systems, becau...

Robotic Perception of Material: Experiments with Shape-Invariant Acoustic Measures of Material Type
We present an active approach for discriminating different materials by impulsively contacting (hitting) them, and sensing and interpreting the resulting sounds. In theory, the an...

Toward Obstacle Avoidance in Intermittent Dynamical Environments
In this paper we discuss a robotic task requiring dynamicalsafety in the face of an intermittent environment. We define and offer examples of this notion. We then construct a dyna...
