Fiber-optics gyroscopes (“gyros”) are gaining importance as a means for improving dead-reckoning accuracy in mobile robots. In the past, the relatively high drift rate of mode...
This paper describes a prototype and analytical studies of a spherical rolling robot, a new design of a nonholonomic system. The spherical robot is driven by two remotely controll...
This paper discusses a novel approach to combining human and machine intelligence in teleoperation of 6 degree of freedom (DOF) arm manipulators. Two algorithms are presented that...
This paper presents the application of an action module planning method to an experimental climbing robot named LIBRA. The method searches for a sequence of physically realizable ...
In this paper we illustrate a methodology for modeling and analyzing flexible feeders using generalized semi-Markov process (GSMP) models. Working through the simple case consisti...
