Develo** advanced robotics applications is now facing the safety issue for users, the
environment, and the robot itself, which is a main limitation for their deployment in real life …

Undulatory swimming represents an ideal behavior to investigate locomotion control and the
role of the underlying central and peripheral components in the spinal cord. Many vertebrate …

Animals sustain the ability to operate after injury by creating qualitatively different
compensatory behaviors. Although such robustness would be desirable in engineered …

When deploying machine learning models in high-stakes robotics applications, the ability to
detect unsafe situations is crucial. Early warning systems can provide alerts when an unsafe …

Autonomous robots operating in uncertain or hazardous environments subject to state safety
constraints must be able to identify and isolate faulty components in a time-optimal manner …

This article proposes a control algorithm for obstacle avoidance and trajectory tracking for a
redundant‐manipulator in smart‐homes. The redundancy provides dexterity and flexibility …

In this paper, we introduce a new approach to fault detection for robot manipulators. The
technique, which is based on the isolation of fault signatures via filtered torque prediction …

This paper presents a layered fault tolerance framework containing new fault detection and
tolerance schemes. The framework is divided into servo, interface, and supervisor layers …

Damage recovery is critical for autonomous robots that need to operate for a long time
without assistance. Most current methods are complex and costly because they require …

Fault tree analysis remains a significant alternative for modeling and analyzing reliability
and failure modes. Traditionally, the probabilities of the basic events are assumed as point …
