In this paper we present a prototype enterprise information run-time heavily inspired by the fundamental principles of autonomic computing. Through self-configuration, selfoptimi...
− A new type of actuator is presented where Shape Memory Alloy (SMA) wires are embedded within artificial “blood vessels.” Fluid flowing through vessels allows the SMA wires ...
— This paper presents a method for controlling formations of mobile robots. In particular, the problem of maintaining so-called “persistent formations” while moving the forma...

Service robots which should perform human-like operation will penetrate into a great number of applications in the future. Requirements for this is high flexibility, autonomy and ...
— While underactuated robotic systems are capable of energy efficient and rapid dynamic behavior, we still do not fully understand how body dynamics can be actively used for ada...
