In this paper we introduce a formalism which combines reliability and complexity as performance measures for Intelligent Machines. For a given desired reliability, di erent algori...
A new control strategy is presented which visually tracks objects using a manipulator/camera system while simultaneously avoiding kinematic singularities and joint limits by movin...
This paper presents a summary of the design and implementation of a force-reflecting controller for conventional heavy duty hydraulic machines. The unsuitability of direct force ...
This paper presents a scheme by which a manipulator can use dynamic tactile sensing to detect when it is about to lose hold of a grasped object and take preventive measures before...
Parallel closed-chainmechanical architectures allow for redundant actuation in the force domain. Antagonistic actuation, afforded by this input force redundancy, in conjunction wi...
