Modular robots are limited in terms of working duration and performance due to the short-comings of existing motion planning algorithms in energy consumption allocation. This paper proposes an ...

Many works in robot teaching either focus only on teaching task knowledge, such as geometric constraints, or motion knowledge, such as the motion for accomplishing a task. However, to effectively ...

Dubbed smartlets, the mircrorobots are integrated with onboard electronics, sensors, actuators and energy systems and are capable of receiving and transmitting optical signals, responding to stimuli ...

Humanoid robots are increasingly deployed in various important areas, including manufacturing, logistics, and healthcare, where they require efficient and reliable solutions for precise motion.

Penn State researchers demonstrate sound-based communication in microrobots, leading to adaptable swarms with potential in medicine and environmental cleanup.
