We describe a model predicting the output torque of the battery-amplifier-actuator-gear combination used on the hexapod robot RHex, based on requested PWM (PulseWidth-Modulation) ...
This paper presents an algorithm, called PCG, for planning the foothold positions of spider-like robots in planar tunnels bounded by piecewise linear walls. The paper focuses on 3-...
In Robotics, many path-planning algorithms have been proposed but almost all are evaluated only by their path lengths in PC. However, the evaluation is completely independent of a...
The purpose of this research is to realize a small robot which can negotiate pipes whose diameter varies widely during the robot’s course. A new in-pipe locomotion mechanism nam...
— Multiple, independent robot platforms promise significant advantage with respect to robustness and flexibility. However, coordination between otherwise independent robots req...
