Indoor service robots have been widely introduced in the fields of cleaning, delivery,
education, guidance, and healthcare, etc. in indoor environments. The mobility of an indoor …

For disaster mitigation as well as for urban search and rescue (USAR) missions, it is often
necessary to place sensors or cameras into dangerous or inaccessible areas to get a better …

Mobile robots can replace humans to fulfill tasks in dangerous environments, which has
been a research focus in recent years. This paper proposes a wheel-legged mobile robot …

Mobile autonomous robots have finally emerged from the confined spaces of structured and
controlled indoor environments. To fulfill the promises of ubiquitous robotics in unstructured …

Purpose–The purpose of this paper is to describe an innovative compliance control
architecture for hybrid multi‐legged robots. The approach was verified on the hybrid legged …

In this work we describe an innovative proprioceptive control architecture for our hybrid
legged-wheeled robot ASGUARD. This robot is able to cope with a variety of stairs, very …

Suspicion of water ice deposits in the lunar south-polar region have sparked new interest
into the earth's smaller companion, and robotic crater sample return missions are being …

We introduce robots as a tools to enhance Ambient Assisted Living (AAL) services. Robots
are a unique opportunity to create new systems to cooperate in reaching better living …

Rescue robots are usually used in security and disaster investigating missions. Yet the
complex control and actuation systems make them very heavy and expensive. This paper …

Abstract In 2008, the European Space Agency (ESA) challenged universities to design,
develop, and test teleoperated robotic systems for a soil‐sampling mission in a simulated …
