— Despite the large body of work in both motion planning and multi-agent simulation, little work has focused on the problem of planning motion for groups of robots using external...
— Many surgical robots use cable-conduit pairs in a pull-pull configuration to actuate the instruments and transmit power into the patient’s body. Friction between the cable an...
— This paper presents a new updating algorithm to reduce the complexity of computing an observability index for kinematic calibration of robots. An active calibration algorithm i...
Abstract— In this paper, we address navigation and coordination methods that allow swarms of robots to converge and spread along complex 2D shapes in environments containing unkn...
— As jumping is an effective method of moving over rough terrain, there is much interest in building robots that can jump, and deformation of a soft robot’s body is an effectiv...
