Mobile robot algorithms and coordination have emerged as a central discipline in robotics research, combining computational theory, distributed algorithms, and systems engineering. These algorithms ...

Researchers will present a new, decentralized planning algorithm for teams of robots that factors in not only stationary obstacles, but also moving obstacles. The algorithm also requires significantly ...

Kaveh Hamed shares a photo of his six-year-old dog Telli in high-speed motion, a source of inspiration for his bio-inspired thinking around legged locomotion. Two years ago, Kaveh Hamed saw his son ...

Getting a robot to walk is one thing, getting it to walk without tripping on the first obstacle it encounters is quite another. Engineers at the University of Michigan are developing a set of ...

In experiments, the team ran the robot at progressively smaller duty cycles, finding that, following the algorithm's force prescriptions, the robot was able to run at higher speeds without falling.

Bioengineers at the University of Illinois at Chicago developed a mathematical algorithm that knows you better than you know yourself. Described in a recent issue of the journal PLoS One, the software ...

The company needs talent in the algorithm area to help fine-tune its humanoid robots, top executive Li Chao says.

Computers have transformed architecture in remarkable ways. They've made it possible to visualize designs in fully-rendered 3D graphics and to automatically check designs against building codes and ...

A commercial robotic leg could potentially benefit both higher- and lower-mobility amputees, University of Michigan roboticists have shown for the first time. The leg provided the largest gains when ...
