While wearable robots that utilize intrinsically soft materials for actuation offer enhanced safety and biological compatibility, the challenges of sensing and control significantly affect their performance. The control problem in such systems is inherently complex, and the inclusion of 'softness' i
Aneurysms, balloon-like bulges in blood vessels, present a significant health risk due to their potential to rupture, leading to life-threatening internal bleeding. Current treatments often involve delivering embolic materials or metal coils to fill these bulges, occluding them from the pressure of…
This paper presents a simple but compact design of a bicycle-like robot for inspecting complex-shaped ferromagnetic structures. The design concept for versatile locomotion relies on two independently steered magnetic wheels formed in a bicycle-like configuration, allowing the robot to possess multi-…
Reliable, robust, accurate, and real-time human tracking is essential for mobile robots and intelligent vehicles in real-life applications. 2D LiDAR is considered as the standard sensor for mobile robot navigation as well as human detection and tracking due to its low-cost and usability. However, 2D
This paper addresses the circular formation and concentric formation stabilization problem of kinematic unicycles. We design distributed control laws driving unicycles to converge to a common circle at the first stage and a velocity control law enabling unicycles to achieve a specific formation on t…
