— Legged robots can, in principle, traverse a large variety of obstacles and terrains. In this paper, we describe a successful application of reinforcement learning to the proble...
A robot, CWRU Robot V (Ajax) has been constructed based on the death head cockroach, Blaberus discoidalis. In an attempt to further take advantage of the neuromechanics of the ani...

— This paper studies the balance of a humanoid robot carrying a heavy object. Without knowing the mass and the position of the center of gravity of the object, the humanoid robot...
In field environments it is not usually possible to provide robotic systems with valid geometric models of the task and environment. The robot or robot teams will need to create t...
