– Robotic navigation and interaction frequently require that the shape and motion of external objects and events be observed. Many interesting events occur at mixed scales. Subtl...
Maintainability is an important issue in design where the accessibility of certain parts is determined for routine maintenance. In the past its study has been largely manual and l...
— Distributed motion planning of multiple agents raises fundamental and novel problems in control theory and robotics. Recently, one such great challenge has been the development...
Abstract— We present an efficient algorithm for complete motion planning that combines approximate cell decomposition (ACD) with probabilistic roadmaps (PRM). Our approach uses ...
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 ...
