Successful control of contact transitions is an important capability of dextrous robotic manipulators. In this paper we examine several methods for controlling the transition from...
A control system architecture is described for an autonomous flying vehicle. The vehicle, equipped with fourteen sensors, uses a model helicopter as an airframe. The control syste...
