The bow leg hopper is a novel locomotor design with a highly resilient leg that resembles an archer's bow. During flight, a "thrust" actuator adds elastic energy to...
Abstract. Nature is considered one promising area to search for inspiration in designing robotic systems. Some work in swarm robotics has tried to build systems that resemble distr...
The development and expression of many higher level cognitive functions, such as imitation, spatial perception, and tool-use relies on a multi-modal representation of the body kno...
Abstract. The manipulation of fast moving, delicate tissues in beating heart procedures presents a considerable challenge to surgeons. We present a new robotic force stabilization ...
