— Human walking emerges from synergy of whole body dynamics: not only legs, but also a torso, arms, and a head are compliantly connected with each other by antagonistic muscles. ...
— In this paper, we introduce a modified Kalman filter that can perform robust, real-time outlier detection in the observations, without the need for parameter tuning. Robotic ...
— Complex, autonomous robots integrate a large set of sometimes very diverse algorithms across at least three levels of system organization: the agent architecture, the implement...

— Tracked vehicles have the advantage of stable locomotion on uneven terrain, and, as a result, such mechanisms are used for locomotion on outdoor robots, including those used fo...
—This paper presents a new method developed for the optimal design of microrobotic compliant mechanisms. It is based on a flexible building block method, called FlexIn, which use...
