— Safety is a critical success factor for consumer acceptance of domestic robotic products. Some researchers have adopted the Head Injury Criterion (HIC) as absolute safety norm....
Abstract— To autonomously navigate on rough terrain is a challenging problem for mobile robots, requiring the ability to decide whether parts of the environment can be traversed ...
— One primary goal in rescue robotics is to deploy a team of robots for coordinated victim search after a disaster. This requires robots to perform subtasks, such as victim detec...
— Due to their panoramic field of view, catadioptric cameras are becoming ubiquitous in many robotics and computer vision applications. Catadioptric cameras with a unique viewpo...
Abstract— The passive dynamic walker (PDW) has a remarkable characteristic that it realizes cyclic locomotion without planning the joint trajectories. However, it cannot control ...
