This paper develops a three-degree-of-freedom sagittal-plane hybrid dynamical systems model of a Groucho-style bounding quadrupedal run. Simple within-stance controls using a modular architecture yield a closed-form expression for a family of hybrid...

The efficient computation of viewpoints while considering various system and process constraints is a common challenge that any robot vision system is confronted with when trying to execute a vision task. Although fundamental research has provided so...

Soft pneumatic grippers (SPGs) have garnered significant attention and recognition in various industries owing to their remarkable flexibility, safety, and adaptability. They excel in manipulating delicate, irregularly shaped, and soft objects, surpa...

Exoskeleton devices are designed for applications such as rehabilitation, assistance, and haptics. Due to the nature of physical human–machine interaction, designing and operating these devices is quite challenging. Optimization methods lessen...

This research proposes a robust nonlinear hybrid control approach to the speed control of a multi-input-and-multi-output separately excited DC motor (SEDCM). The motor that was under consideration experienced parametric uncertainties and load disturb...

In recent years, Embodied AI has become one of the main topics in robotics. For the agent to operate in human-centric environments, it needs the ability to explore previously unseen areas and to navigate to objects that humans want the agent to inter...

In this paper, we propose a solution for the problem of searching for multiple targets by a group of mobile agents with sensing errors of the first and the second types. The agents’ goal is to plan the search and follow its trajectories that le...

In the landscape of intelligent systems and robotics, legged robots stand out as a fascinating fusion of biological inspiration and engineered design [...]

This manuscript presents an efficient algorithm for solving the inverse kinematics problem of a 6R robot manipulator to be deployed on embedded control hardware. The proposed method utilizes the geometric relationship between the end-effector and the...

In recent years, deep learning techniques for processing 3D point cloud data have seen significant advancements, given their unique ability to extract relevant features and handle unstructured data. These techniques find wide-ranging applications in...
