In this paper, we present a miniaturized version of a previously developed ground reaction force sensor. The sensor is composed of two pairs of meander coils detecting displacement in a plane. One pair of coils determines vertical displacement, proportional to normal force distribution, while the other pair of coils determines horizontal displacement, proportional to tangential force distribution...
In this paper, a control strategy is proposed for gait generation for a two-legged humanoid robot. The two-legged robot is assumed as a 3-dimensional robot with 5-links. Gait generation is performed by assuming motions in the saggital and lateral planes. Dynamic model of the robot is obtained by using MATLABreg/SimMechanics Toolbox. A fuzzy logic controller (FLC) is established for gait generation...
This paper introduces a novel approach to a crucial problem in robotics: Constructing robots that can learn general affordance relations from their experiences. Our approach has two components. (a) The robot models affordances as statistical relations between actual actions, object properties and the experienced effects of actions on objects. (b) To exploit the general-knowledge potential of its actual...
Robots can do more for the human society than wandering around collecting garbage, entertaining children and playing soccer. In this paper we present an ongoing research toward the realization of robots as embodied knowledge media. In this framework, the robot is used to extract knowledge from expert humans through natural interactions, and then to present this knowledge to other humans who need it...
A large area thin-film nanodevice made by self-assembly containing electroluminescent nanoparticles is reported. The ~100 nm thick device on application of potential across the top and bottom surface of the film converts local pressure to light. The intensity of the electroluminescent light is linearly proportional to the applied local compressive stress. By imaging the light, the stress distribution...
