The high degree of complexity and autonomy of future robotic space missions, such as Mars Science Laboratory (MSL), poses serious challenges in assuring their reliability and efï¬...
-- An inevitable collision state for a robotic system can be defined as a state for which, no matter what the future trajectory followed by the system is, a collision with an obsta...
Sensor networks have been an attractive platform for pervasive computing and communication. Due to the lack of physical protection, however, sensor networks are vulnerable to atta...
This paper presents a novel approach to continuously and robustly tracking critical (geometrically, perpendicular and/or extremal) distances from a moving plane point p ∈ R2 to a...

We present a new software system architecture for the implementation of hard real-time applications. The core of the system is a microkernel whose reactivity (interrupt handling a...
