— There is much to gain from providing walking machines with passive dynamics, e.g. by including compliant elements in the structure. These elements can offer interesting propert...
Abstract—The development of human-robot interaction scenarios is a strongly situation-dependent as well as an extremely dynamic task. Humans interacting with the robot directly r...
— Online self collision detection system for humanoid robots is an essentially important function for developing sensor based behaviors without worrying about breaking hardware. ...
