In the context of object interaction and manipulation, one characteristic of a robust grasp is its ability to comply with external perturbations applied to the grasped object while still maintaining the grasp. In this work we introduce an approach for gras ...
A current trend in robotics is to define robot motions so that they can be easily adopted to situations beyond those for which the motion was originally designed. In this work, we show how the challenging task of playing minigolf can be efficiently tackled ...
The ease with which humans coordinate all their limbs is fascinating. Such a simplicity is the result of a complex process of motor coordination, i.e. the ability to resolve the biomechanical redundancy in an efficient and repeatable manner. Coordination e ...
Miniaturisation will be the key challenge for the next decade in numerous industrial fields, such as microelectronics, optics and biomedical engineering. Although most of their products already achieve footprints of some square millimeters, the trend towar ...
Despite tremendous advances in robotics, we are still amazed by the proficiency with which humans perform movements. Even new waves of robotic systems still rely heavily on hardcoded motions with a limited ability to react autonomously and robustly to a dy ...
Background In contemporary surgical clinical practice, spinal instability is often treated with mechanical stabilization techniques in order to protect the spinal cord and nerve roots. These techniques involve placing screws in defined regions of the verte ...
Technology is playing an increasing role in our society. Therefore it becomes important to educate the general public, and young generations in particular, about the most common technologies. In this context, robots are excellent education tools, for many ...
It is common for biological networks to encounter situations where agents need to decide between multiple options, such as deciding between moving towards one food source or another or between moving towards a new hive or another. In previous works, we dev ...
Due to its applications in marine research, oceanographic, and undersea exploration, Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) and the related control algorithms has been recently under intense investigation. In this work, we address target detection and track ...
Efficient, adaptive and reliable visuomotor control system is crucial to enable robots to display flexibility in the face of changes in the environment. This paper takes inspiration in human eye-arm-hand coordination pattern to develop an equivalently robu ...
