Embodiment and subjectivity are important research issues for collaborative virtual environments. We claim that the direction and distance of an embodiment are the most important ...
Most of the obstacle avoidance techniques do not consider the robot orientation or its nal angle at the target position. These techniques deal with the robot position only and are ...
Metronaut is a novel wearable computer which captures information, senses position, provides wide range communications, consumes less than one watt of power, and weighs less than ...
This paper presents an autonomous method to calibrate joint torque sensors f o r advanced robots; as a by-product, the position sensors can also be calibrated. When one joint of a...
Abstract In legged systems, springy legs facilitate gaits with subsequent contact and flight phases. Here, we test whether electrical motors can generate leg behaviors suitable for...
