In this paper, we present a novel control architecture for the online adaptation of bipedal locomotion on inclined obstacles. In particular, we introduce a novel, cost-effective, and versatile foot sensor to detect the proximity of the robot's feet to the ...
In Receding Horizon Planning (RHP), it is critical that the motion being executed facilitates the completion of the task, e.g. building momentum to overcome large obstacles. This requires a value function to inform the desirability of robot states. However ...
In the context of learning from demonstration (LfD), trajectory policy representations such as probabilistic movement primitives (ProMPs) allow for rich modeling of demonstrated skills. To reproduce a learned skill with a real robot, a feedback controller ...
This article addresses the problem of simultaneous distributed state estimation, and control of linear systems with linear state feedback, subjected to process, and measurement noise, under the constraints of quantized, and rate-limited network data transm ...
Editor's notes: The cross-layer approach presented in this article involves co-designing a feedback controller's parameters together with the schedule of an Ethernet network used for communicating state information and control signals.-Samarjit Chakraborty ...
In this article, we propose an approach to extract variable-impedance during cutting tasks from human demonstrations, so as to ease soft-tissue cutting by robots. We model the dynamic adjustment of the human arm during interactions with the tissue and tran ...
Recent work is revealing neural correlates of a leading theory of motor control. By linking an elegant series of behavioral experiments with neural inactivation in macaques with computational models, a new study shows that premotor and parietal areas can b ...
This work demonstrates the first 3D printed wearable motor-sensory module prototype designed for facial rehabilitation, focusing on facial paralysis. The novelty of the work lies in the fast fabrication of the first fully soft working prototype, including ...
The acidity of aqueous atmospheric solutions is a key parameter driving both the partitioning of semi-volatile acidic and basic trace gases and their aqueous-phase chemistry. In addition, the acidity of atmospheric aqueous phases, e.g., deliquesced aerosol ...
Power-Hardware-In-the-Loop (PHIL) setups have gained high importance in validation of the performance of newly developed algorithms and devices with low risk and implementation cost. However, the interconnection of a power hardware with a simulated model v ...
