— We suggest a new navigation approach to mobile robots, within a nonlinear model predictive control framework where a navigation function is used as a control Lyapunov function....
Abstract— For mobile manipulators envisioned in home environments a kitchen scenario provides a challenging testbed for numerous skills. Diverse manipulation actions are required...

— We present results of successful telemanipulation of large, heavy objects by a humanoid robot. Using a single joystick the operator controls walking and whole body manipulation...
Localization is the problem of determining the position of a mobile robot from sensor data. Most existing localization approaches are passive, i.e., they do not exploit the opport...
