We present a distributed controller for the center of mass of a modular robot. This is useful for locomotion of a modular robot over uneven and unknown terrain. By controlling the center of mass, a robot can prevent itself from falling over. We present a distributed and decentralized algorithm that computes the mass properties of the robot. Additionally, each module also computes the mass properties...
This paper presents a modular and reconfigurable robot for multiple locomotion modes based on reconfigurable modules. Each mode consists of characteristics for the environment type, speed, turning-ability, energy-efficiency, and recover ability from failures. The paper demonstrates this solution by the Superbot robot that combines advantages from MTRAN, CONRO and others. Experimental results, both...
We demonstrate a collection development decision support tool that mines digital archive usage data. We want to better understand the University of Southern California (USC) Digital Archive's collection structure by analyzing the objects' characteristics, by analyzing the relationships between viewed objects, and by understanding usage trends over time. By relying on implicit patterns of usage data,...
