Abstract— This paper presents a novel biologicallyinspired hierarchical approach to organizing and controlling modular robots. The purpose of our approach is to decompose the com...
— With the goal of developing biologically inspired manipulation strategies for an anthropomorphic hand, we investigated how the human central nervous system utilizes the hands r...
We present motion planning for dexterous manipulation by whole arm grasp system based on switching contact modes. Motion planning for such a system should consider changing dynami...
— Despite the many significant advances made in robotics research, few works have focused on the tight integration of task planning and motion control. Most integration works in...
—This paper presents a novel design and preliminary kinematic analysis of an Insertable Robotic Effector Platform (IREP) for Single Port Access (SPA) Surgery. The IREP robot can ...
