Fidget poppers are an example of "bistability," as the popped circles rest in one of two stable states. Purdue University researchers have taken this idea to its extreme, building robots that can be ...

Intelligent agriculture requires precise, real-time control of diverse systems ranging from greenhouse climates to autonomous tractors. Classic approaches such as proportional–integral–derivative (PID ...

Abstract: Machine learning has demonstrated a great capacity to find solutions for various research in the control and robotic realm. Reinforcement learning is a branch of machine learning which can ...

Abstract: Contacts are central to most manipulation tasks as they provide additional dexterity to robots to perform challenging tasks. However, frictional contacts leads to complex complementarity ...
