— This paper provides that an elastic force and an elastic potential energy due to the deformation of soft fingers, which are previously derived, can be calculated into straight...
This paper deals with the Assembly Line Balancing Problem considering incompatibilities between the tasks with the aim of, first, minimizing the number of workstations and, then, ...
To be useful as a mobility assistant for a human driver, an intelligent robotic wheelchair must be able to distinguish between safe and hazardous regions in its immediate environm...
— Mapping an environment with an imaging sensor becomes very challenging if the environment to be mapped is unknown and has to be explored. Exploration involves the planning of v...
In this article we present a novel, hybrid graph spatial representation for robot navigation. This representation enables our mobile robot to build a model of its surroundings whi...
