— In this paper we introduce a friction observer for robots with joint torque sensing (in particular for the DLR medical robot) in order to increase the positioning accuracy and ...
—We investigate the stability properties of discrete and hybrid stochastic nonlinear dynamical systems. More precisely, we extend the stochastic contraction theorems (which were ...
In this paper we present an approach to robot arm control based on exploiting the dynamical properties of a simple neural network oscillator circuit coupled to the joints of an ar...
An image-based visual servo control is presented for a robotic manipulator. The proposed control design addresses visual servo of 'eye-in-hand' type systems. Using a nov...
In this paper, we describe a novel execution environment for Java programs that substantially improves execution performance by incorporating both on-line and off-line profile inf...
