Now in its third edition, this textbook is a comprehensive introduction to the multidisciplinary
field of mobile robotics, which lies at the intersection of artificial intelligence, computational …

Heavy-duty legged robots have been regarded as one of the important developments in the
field of legged robots because of their high payload-total mass ratio, terrain adaptability, and …

Decision and estimation theory are closely related topics in applied probability. In this paper,
Bayesian hypothesis testing is combined with Kalman filtering to merge two different …

Legged robots are an efficient alternative for navigation in challenging terrain. In this paper
we describe Weaver, a six‐legged robot that is designed to perform autonomous navigation …

This paper addresses the problem of achieving energy efficiency in statically stable walking
machines without mechanically constraining the system. In contrast to previous work, power …

The study of volcanic activity is important from a scientific point of view as it allows for a
better understanding of one of the most spectacular geological phenomena and of the …

Multi-legged walking robots often make use of sophisticated control architectures to play
their strengths in rough and unknown environments. The adaptability of these robots is an …

Martin (57) ABSTRACT In accordance with the present invention, a modular archi tecture to
organize and coordinate components that are needed to automate earthmoving tasks, and …

Walking animals, like insects, with little neural computing can effectively perform complex
behaviors. For example, they can walk around their environment, escape from …

In this paper we present a paradigm for robot control, Supervised Autonomy. Supervised
Autonomy is a framework, which facilitates the development of human robot systems. The …
