Object search is the task of eciently searching for a given 3D object in a given 3D environment by an agent equipped with a camera for target detection and, if the environment con...
Abstract-We study the problem of achieving global behavior in a group of distributed robots using only local sensing and minimal communication, in the context of formations. The go...
This paper introduces a dynamics simulator designed to aid the development of control algorithms for biologically inspired robots. We describe the simulator and a two-tier framewo...
