Abstract: Current manual practices of replacing bolts on structures are time-consuming and costly, especially because of numerous bolts. Thus, an automated method that can visually detect and localize bolt positions would be highly ...

Abstract: In this paper, we demonstrate the application of a discrete control Lyapunov function (DCLF) for exponential orbital stabilization of the simplest walking model supplemented with an actuator between the legs. The Lyapunov ...

Abstract: In some practical control problems of essentially continuous systems, the goal is not to tightly track a trajectory in state space, but only some aspects of the state at various points along the trajectory, and possibly ...

Abstract: In this paper, we present the redesign and analysis of a century old walking toy. Historically, the toy is made up of two wooden pieces including a rear leg and a front leg and body (as a single piece) that are attached ...
