Underactuated robotics: A review

Nonlinear Control of Underactuated Mechanical Systems with Application to Robotics

This thesis is devoted to nonlinear control, reduction, and classification of underactuated mechanical systems. Underactuated systems are mechanical control systems with fewer controls than the number of configuration variables. Control of underactuated systems is currently an active field of research due to their broad applications in Robotics, Aerospace Vehicles, and Marine Vehicles. The exam...

Evolutionary Robotics: A Review

of building autonomous agents by using evolutionary techniques. It presents experimental studies of evolving low-level and high-level functions in real and simulated robots. The main thesis of the book is that evolutionary robotics provides a viable alternative to classical techniques of designing autonomous robots. An important point emphasized throughout the book is that “evolutionary robotic...

Evolutionary robotics – A review

In evolutionary robotics, a suitable robot control system is developed automatically through evolution due to the interactions between the robot and its environment. It is a complicated task, as the robot and the environment constitute a highly dynamical system. Several methods have been tried by various investigators to solve this problem. This paper provides a survey on some of these importan...

Underactuated Vehicle Control - Motion Planning Literature Review

Autism and social robotics: A systematic review.

Social robotics could be a promising method for Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) treatment. The aim of this article is to carry out a systematic literature review of the studies on this topic that were published in the last 10 years. We tried to address the following questions: can social robots be a useful tool in autism therapy? We followed the PRISMA guidelines, and the protocol was registere...
