— In this paper we present a mathematical model of the TRIKKE, a human-powered scooter produced by Trikke Tech Inc. The Trikke is a three-wheeled, single-rider vehicle that can b...
This paper describes the foundations and algorithms of a new probabilistic roadmap (PRM) planner that is: (1) singlequery –i.e., it does not pre-compute a roadmap, but uses the ...
We discuss the role of spatial representations and visual geometries in vision-based navigation. To a large extent, these choices determine the complexity and robustness of a given...
This paper investigates how to "observe" a planar object being pushed by a finger. The pushing is governed by a nonlinear system that relates through contact the object ...
—Three dimensional vision applications, such as robot vision, require modeling of the relationship between the two-dimensional images and the three-dimensional world. Camera cali...
