Mobile Sensors for Robotics Research

Integrating rehabilitation robots with human motion and force sensors for effective training and positive therapeutic effects is attracting more and more attentions in research and clinic fields (Bonato, 2010; Moreno et al., 2009). In order to control robots at the level of human motor control, the muscular activity of the lower limbs which has been estimated from measurements of joint moments ...

The 2015 Soft Robotics Competition

september 2016 • Ieee rObOtICs & AUtOmAtION mAGAZINe • model checking or other formal verification tools. In the months leading up to the competition, the organizers created an open source infrastructure for generating problem instances and interacting with submitted controllers. This included deciding problem specification formats and parameters of each problem domain that would be varied duri...

Handbook of Robotics Chapter 22 - Range Sensors

1 Range sensors are devices that capture the 3D structure of the world from the viewpoint of the sensor, usually measuring the depth to the nearest surfaces. These measurements could be at a single point, across a scanning plane, or a full image with depth measurements at every point. The benefits of this range data is that a robot can be relatively certain where the real world is, relative to ...
