Self-reconfigurable robots are built from modules, which are autonomously able to change the way they are connected. Such a robot can, through this self-reconfiguration process, c...
The purpose of this paper is to estimate the position of a human in the image frame and to use this information to diagnose falls. A nonholonomic locomotion model describes the dis...
— Vision can be used as a sensor for measuring the position of a visual marker. When the displacement of the marker over the camera exposure time is significant, the obtained po...
We have previously developed a brachiation controller that allows a two degree of freedom robot to swing from handhold to handhold on a horizontal ladder with evenly space rungs a...

In this paper, we discuss the modeling of the kinematics and dynamics of compliant contact between bodies moving in Euclidean space. First, we derive the kinematic equations descr...
