We report on the design and development of X-RHex, a hexapedal robot with a single
actuator per leg, intended for real-world mobile applications. X-RHex is an updated version …

For mobile robots, the essential units of actuation, computation, and sensing must be
designed to fit within the body of the robot. Additional capabilities will largely depend upon a …

A modular reconfigurable robot (MRR) is considered as a system of systems; that is, a robot
control system consists of modular systems. For an MRR, onboard tracking of multiple …

Widely accepted utility of simple spring-mass models for running behaviors as descriptive
tools, as well as literal control targets, motivates accurate analytical approximations to their …

The multi-motor servo system (MMSS) is an electro-mechanical system widely used in
various fields, including electric vehicles, robotics, and industrial machinery. Depending on …

Gone is the era where robots were strictly used for industrial automation, working in a single,
isolated welding cell from an assembly line, away from their human overlords and relegated …

Instrumented crutches are useful for many rehabilitation tasks, including monitoring the
correctness of crutch use, analyzing gait properties for patients with lower-limb impairments …
