Practical approaches to exploiting body dynamics in robot motor control [PDF]
, 2015 Motor control systems in the brain of humans and mammals are hierarchically organised, with each level controlling increasingly complex motor actions. Each level is controlled by the higher levels and also receives sensory and/or proprioceptive feedback.

A bistable soft gripper with mechanically embedded sensing and actuation for fast closed-loop grasping [PDF]
, 2019 Soft robotic grippers are shown to be high effective for grasping unstructured objects with simple sensing and control strategies. However, they are still limited by their speed, sensing capabilities and actuation mechanism.

Quantifying the Evolutionary Self Structuring of Embodied Cognitive Networks [PDF]
, 2012 We outline a possible theoretical framework for the quantitative modeling of networked embodied cognitive systems. We notice that: 1) information self structuring through sensory-motor coordination does not deterministically occur in Rn vector space, a ...

Demonstration of OPSORO : an open platform for social robots [PDF]
, 2016 One of the major obstacles in the study of human- robot interaction with social robots is the lack of platforms to allow for tests with large user groups. Often, the price of these robots prohibits using more than a handful of robots.
