- The thumb is essential to the hand’s function in grasping and manipulating objects. Previous anthropomorphic robot hands have thumbs that are biologically-inspired but kinemati...
A new method of handling the kinematic singularities of serial robotic manipulators is proposed. The idea is to transform the manipulator's workspace W into a desingularized ...
Abstract— This paper proposes a small-scale agile wall climbing robot able to navigate on smooth surfaces of any orientation, including vertical and inverted surfaces, which uses...

— The goal of this study is a system for a robot to imitate human dances. This paper describes the process to generate whole body motions which can be performed by an actual bipe...
Embodying robot morphologies evolved in simulation can present serious problems for an engineer when translating simplified simulated mechanisms into working devices, often drawing...
