We analyze a class of mechanisms that locomote by switching between constraints. Because of the hybrid nature of such systems, most of the existing analysis tools, developed prima...
Many practical dextrous manipulation tasks involve large-scale motion of the grasped object while maintaining a stable grasp. To plan such tasks, one must control both the motion ...
In this paper, we propose a 2D visual motion estimation method which can be exploited to achieve a dynamic positioning (eg. by gaze control) with respect to a sea-bottom area of i...
Future space applications will require robotic systems to assemble, inspect, and maintain large space structures in orbit. For effective planning and control, robots will need to ...
Abstract. For autonomy in underwater robotics it is essential to develop context-driven controllers, capable of leading from perception to action without human intervention. One of...
