Proceedings ArticleDOI
Autonomous cooperation of heterogeneous platforms for sea-based search tasks
TL;DR: Simulated and experimental results show that it is feasible to combine both pre-planned and adaptive behaviors to effectively search a target area.

Control of Center of Mass Motion during Walking Predicts Gait and Balance in People with Incomplete Spinal Cord Injury
Shamali Dusane,A.J. Shafer,Wendy L. Ochs,Tara Cornwell,H. Henderson,K.-Y. A. Kim,Keith E. Gordon +6 more
TL;DR: In this article , the authors examined the relationship between the ability to control lateral COM motion during walking and functional measures of gait and balance in people with incomplete spinal cord injury (iSCI).
Journal ArticleDOI
Human-Like Endtip Stiffness Modulation Inspires Dexterous Manipulation With Robotic Hands
A.J. Shafer,Ashish D. Deshpande +1 more
TL;DR: A novel method for biomechanically inspired mechanical and control design by quantifying stable manipulation regions in 3D space for tendon-driven systems and shows that stiffness controllers that efficiently utilize the underlying stiffness properties while maximizing task criteria can be developed.

Stability and Manoeuvrability Interactions During Human Walking Depend on the Manoeuvre Direction
TL;DR: In this article , the authors hypothesize that adopting gait patterns that increase lateral stability will impede laterally-directed manoeuvres but not medially-directed maneuvers due to body positioning strategies that resist lateral movements but aid in the ability to actively generate mediallydirected external moments.
