An environment for programming and control of multi‐robot manipulators
M. Moallem, R. KhoshbinDiscusses development of an open architecture multi‐robot system that can be used for training engineers in the area of networked‐based multi‐robot programming.
Delmia robot modelling software aids nuclear and other industries
Christine ConnollyTo review the capabilities, features and uses of a robotic simulation package.
Lemur IIb: a robotic system for steep terrain access
Brett Kennedy, Avi Okon, Hrand Aghazarian, Mircea Badescu, Xiaoqi Bao, Yoseph Bar‐Cohen, Zensheu Chang, Borna E. Dabiri, Mike Garrett, Lee Magnone, Stewart SherritIntroduces the Lemur IIb robot which allows the investigation of the technical hurdles associated with free climbing in steep terrain. These include controlling the distribution…
Learning to plan for robots using generalized representations
John Pisokas, Dongbing Gu, Huosheng HuRobots operating in the real world should be able to make decisions and plan ahead their actions. We argue that learning using generalized representations of the robot's…
On distributed mechatronics controller for omni‐directional autonomous guided vehicles
Nkgatho Sylvester TlaleIn this paper, two omni‐directional mobile vehicles are designed and controlled implementing distributed mechatronics controllers. Omni‐directionality is the ability of mobile…
Exploring adaptive locomotion with YaMoR, a novel autonomous modular robot with Bluetooth interface
Rico Moeckel, Cyril Jaquier, Kevin Drapel, Elmar Dittrich, Andres Upegui, Auke Jan IjspeertThis paper aims to present a novel modular robot that provides a flexible framework for exploring adaptive locomotion.
On the development of a modular external‐pipe crawling omni‐directional mobile robot
P. Chatzakos, Y.P. Markopoulos, K. Hrissagis, A. KhalidThe development of a novel omni‐directional inspection robot is presented, which is capable of delivering NDT sensors to surfaces on straight pipe, pipe bends and branch…
3D control of a high‐speed quadruped trot
L.R. Palmer, D.E. OrinLegged vehicles offer several advantages over wheeled vehicles, particularly on broken terrain, but are presently too slow to be considered for many high‐speed tasks. This paper…
A portable light‐weight climbing robot for personal assistance applications
A. Jardon, A. Gimenez, R. Correal, R. Cabas, S. Martinez, C. BalaguerHuman care and service demands will need innovative robotic solutions to make the day‐to‐day life of elderly and disabled people in home and workplace environments easier. The…
Using signs for configuring work tasks of service robots
Mikko Heikkilä, Sami Terho, Minna Hirsi, Aarne Halme, Pekka ForsmanThis paper seeks to describe how signs can be used as a part of the work task scenarios with service robot.
