— This paper presents a novel control strategy based on a non-smooth Lyapunov function to guarantee the stability of the system in the whole motion space. Three control laws that...
— This paper presents work on sensor-based motion planning in initially unknown dynamic environments. Motion detection and modeling are combined with a smooth navigation function...
In this paper, we propose a new concept, thinning-out, for reducing the number of trials in skill discovery. Thinning-out means to skip over such trials that are unlikely to improv...
