— One of features of soft object manipulation is motion during deformation of the soft body. We analyze the stability of soft object manipulation by simultaneous control of motio...
ACT Search and rescue robots often use tethers to provide power and communication, but tethers get caught on debris and small robots have difficulty with the added drag of the tet...
— This paper discusses jumping pattern generation for a serial link robot in order to maximize its jump height under torque limitation. By applying a genetic algorithm (GA) for d...
— Mobile robot localization and navigation requires a map - the robot’s internal representation of the environment. A common problem is that path planning becomes very ineffic...
— A novel design of a mobile parallel manipulator (MPM), which is composed by a multi-degree of freedom (DOF) parallel robot and an autonomous wheeled mobile platform, is propose...
