Research Interests
- Robot vehicles: navigating an experimental mobile robot to a goal while avoiding collision with obstacles, while information is gathered on-line using sensors.
- “Walking” robots: planning motion of articulated mechanisms like “snake” and “spider” robots through a sequence of stable equilibria.
- Others: robot juggling, workpiece fixturing, assembly planning.
