A new paradigm of event-based robotic and telerobotic control, referred to as the reference adaptive impedance control, is presented for partially constrained robotic and telerobotic tasks under uncertain or unknown environmental constraints. The reference adaptive impedance control determines the desired next state adaptively to follow the optimal path from the current state, where the optimal path is generated with the environmental constraints updated through time. The embedded impedance control provides a mechanism for collecting more complete information on the environment. The reference adaptive impedance control also serves as a powerful tool for implementing shared control in teleoperation. A case study of robotic and telerobotic soil trenching is given with peg-hole insertion experiment.

We describe the design, construction and control of a quadruped robot which walks on uneven terrain. A control system which produces a statically stable gait has been implemented;results showing a straight and turning gait are presented. The control of quadruped robots poses interesting challenges due to a small stability margin (when compared to hexapods for example). For this reason most implemented systems for outdoor walking on uneven terrain have been hexapods. The system described here has the added virtue of using very few inexpensive sensors and actuators. One of the aims of this work is to build a reduced complexity (low power, low mass and direct drive) walking robot for statically stable walking. The other aim is to compare the performance of this robot with a wheeled robot roughly the same size and weight. In this paper we report on progress towards the first of these two goals using a traverse across an obstacle field as an example.

We present a haptic rendering framework that allows the tactile display of complex virtual environments. This framework allows surface constraints, surface shading, friction, texture and other effects to be modeled solely by updating the position of a representative object, the "virtual proxy". This abstraction reduces the task of the haptic servo control loop to the minimization of the error between user's position and that of the proxy. This framework has been implemented in a system that is able to haptically render virtual environments of a complexity that is near and often in excess of the capabilities of current interactive graphic systems.

This paper presents a new computational scheme based on multiresolution decomposition for extracting the features of interest from oceanographic images by suppressing noise. The multiresolution analysis from the median presented by (Starck et al., 1994) is used for the noise suppression. A parallel approach is presented for this computationally intensive problem of infrared images.

One way to find an optimal plan is to enumerate all plans and evaluate a quality metric for each plan. However it is well known that N parts can have up to O(2/sup N/) assembly plans. Reducing N by grouping parts has been proposed earlier but to our knowledge has not been formally defined. In this paper we define two types of groups in terms of part geometry using the nondirectional blocking graph and binary adjacency matrices defined by Wilson and Latombe (1994). We give a polynomial time algorithm for identifying serial and parallel groups. We tested the algorithm on two planar assemblies where it reduced plan time by a factor of 4.
