—Space exploitation will require efficient techniques for manipulating passive objects on orbit. This work presents a manipulation concept that utilizes both the on-off thruste...
Abstract. We can achieve guaranteed constraint satisfaction of a hybrid dynamical system (which takes into account the underlying continuous dynamics) in a simple, hierarchical con...
In this paper, we introduce a new hexapedal locomotion controller that simulation evidence suggests will be capable of driving our RHex robot at speeds exceeding five body length...
— Partially Observable Markov Decision Processes (POMDPs) provide a rich mathematical model to handle realworld sequential decision processes but require a known model to be solv...
— Outside of the laboratory, accurate models of ground impact dynamics are either difficult or impossible to obtain. Instead, a rigid ground model is often used in gait and cont...
