In this paper, we propose a definition of goal achievability: given a basic action theory describing an initial state of the world and some primitive actions available to a robot,...
This paper proposes a throwing manipulation strategy for a robot with one revolute joint. The throwing manipulation enables the robot not only to manipulate the object to outside o...
We consider the problem of controlling multiple robots manipulating and transporting a payload in three dimensions via cables. Individual robot control laws and motion plans enable...

— We present results of successful telemanipulation of large, heavy objects by a humanoid robot. Using a single joystick the operator controls walking and whole body manipulation...
— We describe self-assembling robot arm systems composed of active modular robots and passive bars. We present a case study where the robotic module is the Shady3D robot and the ...
