The Dual Smart Drive is a specially designed nonlinear actuator intended for use in climbing and walking legged robots. It features a continuously changing transmission ratio and d...
This paper considers a real-time algorithm for performance optimization of switched-mode hybrid dynamical systems. The controlled parameter consists of the switching times between ...
— This paper presents an approach to time-optimal kinodynamic motion planning for a mobile robot. A global path planner is used to generate collision-free straight-line paths fro...
A survey of blackboard robotics applications shows the improvements of blackboard models used in telerobotics and autonomous robots from the use of sequential blackboard in the ro...
In this paper, a model-predictive trajectory-tracking control applied to a mobile robot is presented. Linearized tracking-error dynamics is used to predict future system behavior ...
