We demonstrate the efficacy of the algorithm on a theme-park type humanoid doing a drawing task, serving drink in a glass, and serving a drink placed on a tray without spilling.

We present a system enabling users to accurately catch a real ball while immersed in a virtual reality environment.

For this experiment, we designed a novel protocol to induce changes in the robot's group and study different social contexts.

We present an iterative learning control algorithm for accurate task space tracking of kinematically redundant robots with stringent joint position limits and kinematic modeling errors.

We present an aerial robotic platform for remote tree cavity inspection, based on a hexacopter Micro-Aerial vehicle (MAV) equipped with a dexterous manipulator.

This research illustrates the design, implementation, and evaluation of pneumatic variable-stiffness actuator (VSA) used to strum a four-stringed ukulele with audio variability.

In this paper, we propose such a model to codesign the motion and leg configurations of a robot such that a measure of performance is optimized.

We present the design and control of an untethered, energetically autonomous single-legged hopping robot.

We have developed a toy sized humanoid robot with soft air-filled modules on its links which sense contact and protect the robot and any interacting humans from damaging collisions.
