Reconfigurable multirotors (RMs) with flexible frames and integrated mechanical
compliance are increasingly explored to develop multifunctional aerial robots with high …

This article focuses on the emerging paradigm shift of collision-inclusive motion planning
and control for impact-resilient mobile robots, and develops a unified hierarchical framework …

The paper focuses on collision-inclusive motion planning for impact-resilient mobile robots.
We propose a new deformation recovery and replanning strategy to handle collisions that …

Many biological systems synchronize their movement through physical interactions. By far,
the most well-studied examples concern physical interactions through a fluid: Beating cilia …

Many problems in robotics seek to simultaneously optimize several competing objectives. A
conventional approach is to create a single cost function comprised of the weighted sum of …

Dynamic movement primitives (DMPs) are a robust framework for movement generation
from demonstrations. This framework can be extended by adding a perturbing term to …

When designing a motion planner for autonomous robots there are usually multiple
objectives to be considered. However, a cost function that yields the desired trade-off …

This article develops an impact-resilient aerial robot (s-ARQ) equipped with a compliant arm
to sense contacts and reduce collision impact and featuring a real-time contact force …

In this paper, we develop an embodied AI system for human-in-the-loop navigation with a
wheeled mobile robot. We propose a direct yet effective method of monitoring the robot's …

Micro Aerial Vehicles (MAVs) often face a high risk of collision during autonomous flight,
particularly in cluttered and unstructured environments. To mitigate the collision impact on …
