We wish to navigate across complicated three-dimensional structures. We describe a robot that can propel itself on a web of surfaces oriented around arbitrary directions in three-space. This robot is an inchworm-like robot with a simple, modular, and exi-ble design. We present control algorithms for the task-level skills that allow the robot to walk vertically, horizontally , and inverted, and ...

We investigate the characteristics of constant-amplitude input shapers for robust time-optimal maneuvers of exi-ble structures. Trends in the timing of the shaper impulses are shown as a function of the system damping constant and move distance. The insensitivity to modeling errors, time-optimality, amount of vibration caused during maneuvers, and high frequency excitation of these shapers are ...

From the viewpoint of multilingual generation, the common underlying knowledge base should be kept clear of language-speciic concepts. This goal presupposes that lexical items of various languages cannot map one-to-one onto concepts all the time. We propose a more exi-ble way of attaching lexical items to conngurations of concepts and roles, and a lexical option nder that determines the set of ...

Predicting the state of a dynamic system influenced by chaotic immersion environment is an extremely difficult task, in which direct use statistical extrapolation computational schemes infeasible. This paper considers version precedent forecasting we aftereffects retrospective observation segments that are similar to current situation as forecast. Furthermore, employ presence relatively stable ...
