— High-gain PID position control, which is widely used with robots having complex dynamics, involves some risks in cases of abnormal events, such as unexpected environment contac...
In this paper, we propose a tactile sensing element that communicates through two dimensional conductive skin layers without individual wires. Each tactile element has sensors and...
Autonomous planetary rovers operating in vast unknown environments must operate efficiently because of size, power and computing limitations. Recently, we have developed a rover c...
