: This paper presents a new 3-D design of a discretely-actuated robot manipulator powered by binary actuators. Binary actuators have two stable states, which are, for example, clos...
In this paper we consider the structural properties of the dynamics of robotic manipulation systems of a rather general class, including multiple cooperating, possibly whole-arm l...
The control of nonholonomic and underactuated systems with symmetry is illustrated by the problem of controlling a bicycle. We derive a controller which, using steering and rear-w...
This paper presents an experiment that evaluates and compares the user enjoyment when playing a game of chess in two situations: against a physically embodied robotic agent and ag...
In this work we consider a mobile robot with a laser range finder. Our goal is to find the best set of lines from the sequence of points given by a laser scan. We propose a probabi...
