... Abstract Squishy Robotics, Inc. has developed a spherical sensor robot that can be rapidly deployed by air drops of up to 1,000 ft for emergency response situations to improve situational awareness for first responders. Although the tensegrity structure has successfully been shown to survive...

... Abstract In this paper, a nonlinear feedback law for tracking control of robots is proposed. The dynamic of actuators and only position measurements are taking into account to design the control law. The stability results are obtained from the passivity property of the system, and using...

... Abstract Robot kinematics generally includes forward and inverse kinematics at the position, velocity, and acceleration level. These constructs are essential for the cartesian control of serial manipulators. This paper presents the development of a C++ class library that supports the forward...

... Abstract This paper documents a survey of sensor technology for use in robotic hands. This is achieved by studying sensors used in the UTAH/MIT Hand, the Belgrade/USC hand, the Stanford/JPL hand and the Hirzinger Hand. Additionally, off-the-shelf available sensors as well as those under...

... 13 06 2012 Precision and stability in position control of robots are critical parameters in many industrial applications where high accuracy is needed. It is well known that digital effect is destabilizing and can cause instabilities. In this paper, we analyze a single DoF system...

... 22 05 2009 In this paper, a voice command system for autonomous robots is proposed as a project. The methodology adopted is based on hybrid techniques used in speech recognition which are zero crossing and extremes with dynamic time warping followed by a decision system based...
