Calibration of the 6 DOF High-Precision Flexure Parallel Robot "Sigma 6"

Reymond Clavel, Emanuele Lubrano

In this paper, we present a new method for calibrating a 6 degree-of-freedom (DOF) high-precision flexure parallel robot. The innovative contributions of this work are either in the technological challenge of calibrating a 6 DOF robot with sub-micrometer a ...

Evolving Vision-based Flying Robots

Dario Floreano, Jean-Christophe Zufferey

We describe a new experimental approach whereby an indoor flying robot evolves the ability to navigate in a textured room using only visual information and neuromorphic control. The architecture of a spiking neural circuit, which is connected to the vision ...

Applying means-ends analysis to spatial planning

Boi Faltings, Pearl Pu Faltings

Currently known methods for robot planning fall far behind human capabilities: they require approximations of shapes, and they cannot generate plans which involve moving obstacles to clear a path for the moving object. In this paper, we explore the hypothe ...
