— Pretouch sensing is longer range than contact, but shorter range than vision. The hypothesis motivating this work is that closed loop feedback based on short range but nonconta...
Abstract. We present an interpolation-based planning and replanning algorithm for generating smooth paths through non-uniform cost grids. Most grid-based path planners use discrete...
