— The time domain passivity framework is attracting interest as a method for granting stability in both telerobotics and haptic contexts; this paper employs this approach in orde...
Abstract— Self-assembly is a process through which an organized structure can spontaneously form from simple parts. Taking inspiration from biological examples of self-assembly, ...
— We consider the problem of optimal control in continuous and partially observable environments when the parameters of the model are not known exactly. Partially Observable Mark...
Abstract— This paper presents a novel biologicallyinspired hierarchical approach to organizing and controlling modular robots. The purpose of our approach is to decompose the com...
We present a novel mechanism, called meeting point thread characterization, to dynamically detect critical threads in a parallel region. We define the critical thread the one with...
