− A new type of actuator is presented where Shape Memory Alloy (SMA) wires are embedded within artificial “blood vessels.” Fluid flowing through vessels allows the SMA wires ...
: This paper describes experiments with an electrically actuated one legged hopping robot, the ARL Monopod. While a spring-mass system, comprised of the leg spring and the body mas...
This paper presents a new algorithm for object handling tasks based on active tactile and slippage sensations using a humanoid robot multi-fingered arm for an object that exists at...
Abstract. Important attributes of 3D brain segmentation algorithms include robustness, accuracy, computational efficiency, and facilitation of user interaction, yet few algorithms ...
— We present a fast integrated approach for online segmentation of images for outdoor robots. A compact color and texture descriptor has been developed to describe local color an...
