Robotic systems are invaluable tools for the investigation of sensorimotor control of action, as they can influence motion in a controlled manner and precisely record timing, trajectory and interaction forces. In order to better understand the dynamics of ...
Human interactive robots continue to improve human quality of life with their diverse applications. Their field includes, but is not limited to, haptic devices, force feedback tele-manipulation, surgical co-manipulation, medical rehabilitation, and various ...
In the high-precision industry, most operations require the use of robots able to accomplish highly accurate and repeatable motions. In order to meet the desired level of absolute accuracy, one has to limit or even suppress the effects of different sources ...
In robotics we depend on software tools during design, modeling, programming and testing. These tools are essentials, often indispensable aids for developing and operating sophisticated robotic systems. At the same time, these tools are complex and usually ...
This paper presents several flexible structures cut directly into piezoelectric ceramics. Some parts of these structures are active while other play the role of joints or levers. With this innovative technology, this displacement of the piezos has been amp ...
We consider the problem of learning robust models of robot motion through demonstration. An approach based on Hidden Markov Model (HMM) and Gaussian Mixture Regression (GMR) is proposed to extract redundancies across multiple demonstrations, and build a ti ...
The present study examined, in children aged 4-11 and in adults, the postural control modifications when attention was oriented voluntary on postural sway. Since (1) there are less attentional resources in children than in adults, (2) the selective attenti ...
Robot Programming by Demonstration (PbD) aims at developing adaptive and robust controllers to enable the robot to learn new skills by observing and imitating a human demonstration. While the vast majority of PbD works focused on systems that learn a speci ...
Humanoids remain luxurious robots, not easily purchasable or reproducible. The Robota project aims at building a low cost open humanoid platform, for use as educational tool for normal and disabled children. This paper reports on the mechanical design of a ...
High precision positionning and assembly as well as micro-machining require dedicated devices. These devices have to provide high repeatability and precision on several degrees of freedom (dof). High dynamic characteristics are also sought to reach short t ...
