Improving the Robustness of Visual Teach‐and‐Repeat Navigation Using Drift Error Correction and Event‐Based Vision for Low‐Light Environments

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Visual teach‐and‐repeat (VTR) navigation allows robots to learn and follow routes without building a full metric map. We show that navigation accuracy for VTR can be improved by integrating a topological map with error‐drift correction based on stereo vision.

Identifying Physical Interactions in Contact‐Based Robot Manipulation for Learning from Demonstration

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Robots can learn manipulation tasks from human demonstrations. This work proposes a versatile method to identify the physical interactions that occur in a demonstration, such as sequences of different contacts and interactions with mechanical constraints.

Multimodal Locomotion in Insect‐Inspired Microrobots: A Review of Strategies for Aerial, Surface, Aquatic, and Interfacial Motion

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
This review identifies key design considerations for insect‐inspired microrobots capable of multimodal locomotion. To draw inspiration, biological and robotic strategies for moving in air, on water surfaces, and underwater are examined, along with approaches for crossing the air–water interface.

Optimal discus trajectories

Journal of Biomechanics, 2007
A general 3-D dynamic model for men's and women's discus flight is presented including precession of spin angular momentum induced by aerodynamic pitching moment. Dependence of pitching moment coefficient on angle of attack alpha is estimated from experiment.

Optimal javelin trajectories

Journal of Biomechanics, 1984
A companion paper has treated computer simulation of javelin flight using measured lift, drag and pitching moments. In the present paper we present, categorize and discuss the relative significance of various initial conditions in such a simulation. Since the differential equations describing flight are autonomous, the eventual javelin range and entry ...

Rapid Computation of Optimal Trajectories

IBM Journal of Research and Development, 1967
A generalized "indirect" method of solving two-point boundary value problems is discussed in application to the problem of computing optimal trajectories in a vacuum. Improved numerical techniques make the method extremely fast when a good initial estimate of the solution is available, but it also converges, more slowly, from initial estimates that are

Trajectory optimization of robotic suturing

2015 IEEE International Conference on Technologies for Practical Robot Applications (TePRA), 2015
This paper presents progress towards autonomous knot-tying in Robotic Assisted Minimally Invasive Surgery. While successful demonstrations of robotic knot-tying have been achieved, objective comparisons of competing approaches have been lacking. In this presentation we describe how to score a proposed procedure in terms of speed and volume.
