A locking, unactuated knee is added to the Scout II quadruped robot and trotting gaits are studied. The mechanical design of the knee is presented, trotting algorithms are discuss...
We describe a novel system for robotic measurement of contact sounds. This system is well suited for acquiring impulse-response sound models. A brief explanation of the sound mode...
In this paper the control problem of a hydraulic servosystem is addressed. The performance achievable by classical linear controllers, e.g. PD, are usually limited due to highly n...
We propose a novel approach to dynamic simulation of grasps that overcomes di culties due to inconsistencies in the forward dynamics problem. The key idea in the paper is a minima...
We discuss a physical implementation of the Crystalline robot system. Crystalline robots consist of modules that can aggregate together to form distributed robot systems. Crystall...
