Abstract— Human interaction introduces two main constraints: Safety and Comfort. Therefore service robot manipulator can’t be controlled like industrial robotic manipulator whe...
— This paper presents a software component, the plan database, which provides the needed services to define plans, execute them and more importantly adapt them during execution....
There is a close relationship between harmonic functions { which have recently been proposed for path planning { and hitting probabilities for random processes. The hitting probab...
There is growing interest in multi-robot frequency-based patrolling, in which a team of robots optimizes its frequency of point visits, for every point in a target work area. In p...
This paper describes how decentralized control theory can be used to analyze the control of multiple cooperative robotic vehicles. Models of cooperation are discussed and related t...
