People often use direct physical contact to guide a person to a desired location (e.g., leading a child by the hand) or to adjust a person’s posture for a task (e.g., a dance in...
— Autonomous navigation of an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) can be achieved with a reactive system which allows the robot to overcome all the unexpected changes in its environmen...
— This paper addresses the problem of registering the hexapedal robot, RHex, relative to a known set of beacons, by real-time visual servoing. A suitably constructed navigation f...
In this paper, a new methodology to build compact local maps in real time for outdoor robot navigation is presented. The environment information is obtained from a 3-D scanner lase...
