Survivability: Measuring and ensuring path diversity
— A novel criterion is introduced for assessing the diversity of a collection of paths or trajectories. The main idea is the notion of survivability, which measures the likelihoo...

Milligram-scale high-voltage power electronics for piezoelectric microrobots
— Piezoelectric actuators can achieve high efficiency and power density in very small geometries, which shows promise for microrobotic applications, such as flapping-wing robot...

Modeling deformable shell-like objects grasped by a robot hand
Abstract— This paper models (large) deformations of shelllike objects under the grasping of a robot hand. Classical nonlinear theory of thin shells [21, pp. 186-194] is generaliz...

Distributed coverage control for mobile sensors with location-dependent sensing models
— This paper addresses the problem of coverage control of a network of mobile sensors. In the current literature, this is commonly formulated as a locational optimization problem...
