The paper compares various approaches to implementing a compliant Cartesian behavior for robotic manipulators: impedance, admittance and stiffness control. A new controller struc...
This article presents vision functions needed on a mobile robot to deal with landmark-based navigation in buildings. Landmarks are planar, quadrangular surfaces, which must be dis...
This paper describes a speciation method that allows an evolutionary process to learn several robot behaviors using a single execution. Species are created in behavioral space in ...
— The priorities of a climbing legged robot are to maintain a grasp on its climbing surface and to climb efficiently against the force of gravity. These priorities profoundly co...
