In this paper, we propose a novel type of serial robot with minimal actuation. The robot is a serial rigid structure consisting of multiple links connected by passive joints and of movable actuators. The novelty of this robot is that the actuators travel over the links to a given joint and adjust the relative angle between the two adjacent links. The joints passively preserve their angles until...

Square is a multivariate quadratic encryption scheme proposed in 2009. It is a specialization of Hidden Field Equations by using only odd characteristic elds and also X as its central map. In addition, it uses embedding to reduce the number of variables in the public key. However, the system was broken at Asiacrypt 2009 using a di erential attack. At PQCrypto 2010 Clough and Ding proposed two n...

We use a characterization of the fractional Laplacian as a Dirichlet to Neumann operator for an appropriate differential equation to study its obstacle problem in perforated domains.

This paper presents a practical solution to the guidance of a unicycle type robot, including path following, obstacle avoidance and the respect of wheeled actuation saturation constraint, without planning procedure. These results are based on an extension of previous results on path following control including actuation saturation constraints. New solution for obstacle avoidance, with guarantee...

This paper is concerned with the linear–quadratic optimal control problem for networked systems simultaneously input delay and Markovian packet losses under hold-input compensation strategy, which different from literature. Necessary sufficient conditions solvability of over a finite horizon are given by coupled difference Riccati-type equations. Moreover, system mean-square stability if only a...

We investigate how the use of haptic feedback through electrical muscle stimulation (EMS) can improve collision-avoidance in a robot teleoperation scenario. Background: Collision-free requires extensive situation awareness by operator. This is difficult to achieve purely visually when obstacles exist outside robot’s field view. Therefore, from other sensory channels be beneficial. Method: compa...
