This paper extends the kinematic manipulability concept commonly used for serial manipulators to general constrained rigid multibody systems. Examples of such systems include multi...
This paper is devoted to the problem of nonlinear robust control design for Underwater Vehicle/Manipulator (UVM) systems composed of a freefloating platform equipped with a robot ...
Abstract--Manufacturing scheduling is an important but difficult task. In order to effectively solve such combinatorial optimization problems, this paper presents a novel Lagrangia...
We have developed a multiagent robotic system including perception, cognition, and action components to function in a dynamicenvironment. The system involves the integration and c...
The bow leg hopper is a novel locomotor design with a highly resilient leg that resembles an archer's bow. During flight, a "thrust" actuator adds elastic energy to...
