Abstract: Contracts are a proven tool in software development. They provide specifications for operations that may be statically verified or dynamically validated by contract mon...
This paper formally introduces several stability characterizations of £xtured three-dimensional rigid bodies initially at rest and in unilateral contact with Coulomb friction. The...
We have previously developed a brachiation controller that allows a two degree of freedom robot to swing from handhold to handhold on a horizontal ladder with evenly space rungs a...

This paper presents a class of fundamental control policies suitable for use in a novel method for designing and specifying the dynamic motion of robotic systems. Through recourse...
In this paper, we present an optimal algorithm for solving the simultaneous technology mapping and linear placement problem for tree-structured circuits with the objective of mini...
