RUPART1 is a hybrid robot control system for navigating a real-world, academic building. Hybrid robot control systems provide robust low-level navigation together with strategic p...
— In this paper, the dynamic model of a robot with antagonistic actuated joints is presented, and the problem of full linearization via static state feedback is analyzed. The use...

We combine a "hybrid" force/position control scheme with a potential field approach into a novel method for collision recovery and navigation in unknown environments. It...
— This paper studies the problem of stabilizing wheeled mobile robots (WMRs) subject to wheel slippage to a predefined set. When slippage of the wheels can occur, WMRs can be mo...
