— We study the problem of generating continuous steering control for robots to completely cover a bounded region over a finite time. First, we pack the area by disks of minimum ...
When working on fitting leaf surfaces for use with virtual plant models [Room et al. 1996] we encountered the unsatisfactory situation of receiving a smooth surface model that is...
In this paper, we study the nonlinear boundary value problem ÀDu þ u ¼ fuðu; vÞ in X; ÀDv þ v ¼ fvðu; vÞ in X; ou on ¼ guðu; vÞ; ov on ¼ gvðu; vÞ on oX; 8 ><...
We prove that if two smooth manifolds intersect transversally, then the method of alternating projections converges locally at a linear rate. We bound the speed of convergence in ...
The problem of developing local reactive obstacle-avoidance behaviors by a mobile robot through online real-time learning is considered. The robot operated in an unknown bounded 2...
