The design of a physics-based dynamic simulator of a robot requires to properly integrate the robot kinematic and dynamic properties in a virtual environment. Naturally, the closer is the integrated information to the real robot properties, the more accurate the simulator predicts the real robot beh
The actuation of miniaturized robots through external magnetic fields has great potential for medical applications. The controllability properties of the miniaturized robots are affected by magnetic field generation modality. In this work, the magnetic field of a mobile electromagnet, notably capabl
Catheterization instruments are increasingly being improved to accurately diagnose and treat cardiovascular conditions. However, current catheter systems provide limited information about the shape of the catheter and tissue-instrument interaction forces during an intervention. Furthermore, relying…
This letter considers the problem of collision-free navigation of omnidirectional mobile robots in environments with obstacles. Information from a monocular camera, encoders, and an inertial measurement unit is used to achieve the task. Three different visual servoing control schemes, compatible wit
Humanoids are, by definition, robotic systems for which the control of interaction forces with the environment is elemental for the accomplishment of any loco-manipulation task. Any feedback controller of the interaction forces would invariably require some form of measure or estimation of the force
