Abstract— The greatest characteristic of soft-fingered manipulation is its softness and flexibility during manipulating operations. In previous works, this intrinsic property h...
In this paper we make use of the idea that a robot can autonomously discover objects and learn their appearances by poking and prodding at interesting parts of a scene. In order t...
— Free-space dilation is an effective approach for narrow passage sampling, a well-recognized difficulty in probabilistic roadmap (PRM) planning. Key to this approach are method...
Abstract— We propose a novel method to control a lot of microorganisms by using visual feedback for micro-robotic application. Our goal is to control a cluster of microorganisms ...
— A number of advanced sampling strategies have been proposed in recent years to address the narrow passage problem for probabilistic roadmap (PRM) planning. These sampling strat...
