Abstract Until recently, most four-legged robots have lacked a feature that is found again and in nature—a tail. Studies of animal locomotion the laboratory indicate leaving out tails has been design drawback. In fact, research conducted by our lab at Virginia Tech shown an articulated robotic tail can effectively maneuver stabilize quadruped both for static dynamic locomotion.

This work creates a model of the value different external viewpoints robot performing tasks. The current state practice is to use teleoperated assistant provide view task being performed by primary robot; however, choice ad hoc and does not always lead improved performance. research applies psychomotor approach develop relative quality using Gibsonian affordances. In this approach, for affordan...

In everyday applications of robotics, people will likely interact with groups of robots. Most human-robot interaction (HRI) research to date, however, has studied humans interacting with individual robots. Initial research suggests that humans respond differently to individual robots and robots in groups, making responses to groups of robots critical to study. This paper presents a study perfor...

With the continuous development of the industrialization process, the countries all over the world gradually appeared lack of agricultural labor force and aging phenomenon, which was especially prominent in developed countries. However the agricultural robot with high operating efficiency, high qualities of work will play an increasingly important role in future agricultural production. Robot n...
