Motion planning for mobile agents, such as robots, acting in the physical world is a challenging task, which traditionally concerns safe obstacle avoidance. We are interested in p...
— We present a new approach to path planning for flexible wires. We introduce a method for computing stable configurations of a wire subject to manipulation constraints. These ...
This paper investigates kinetic behavior of a planetary rover with attention to tire-soil traction mechanics and articulated body dynamics, and thereby study the control when the ...
To achieve the ever increasing demand for science return, planetary exploration rovers require more autonomy to successfully perform their missions. Indeed, the communication dela...
— This paper describes a motion planning algorithm for a quadrotor helicopter flying autonomously without GPS. Without accurate global positioning, the vehicle’s ability to lo...
