We have studied modular self-reconfigurable robots that are capable of changing their overall shape and functionality by automatic recombination of homogenous robotic modules. Our ...
— A team of small, low-cost robots instead of a single large, complex robot is useful in operations such as search and rescue, urban exploration etc. However, the performance of ...
Pervasive robotics will require, in a near future, small, light and cheap robots that exhibit complex behaviors. These demands led to the development of the M2-M4 Macaco project -...
Good robot performance often relies upon the selection of design parameters that lead to a well conditioned Jacobian or impedance "design" matrix. In this paper, a new d...
In this paper, a genetic algorithm (GA) is used to design faulttolerant analog controllers for a piezoelectric micro-robot. Firstorder and second-order functions are developed to ...
