––This paper deals with a small mobile device, "Seal Mechanism," with three degrees of freedom (DOFs). An L-shaped structure of Seal Mechanism is proposed. This devic...
We introduce a framework, called "physicomimetics," that provides distributed control of large collections of mobile physical agents in sensor networks. The agents sense...

Autonomous robots need the ability to move purposefully and without human intervention in real-world environments that have not been speci cally engineered for them. These environm...
— Relative bearing between robots is important in applications like pursuit-evasion [11] and SLAM [7]. This is also true in in sensor networks, where the bearing of one sensor no...
— Scan matching, the problem of registering two laser scans in order to determine the relative positions from which the scans were obtained, is one of the most heavily relied-upo...
