A new method of handling the kinematic singularities of serial robotic manipulators is proposed. The idea is to transform the manipulator's workspace W into a desingularized ...
— We explore the control synthesis problem for a robot dynamically manipulating an object in the presence of multiple frictional contacts. Contacts occur both between the object ...

This paper presents an algorithm, called PCG, for planning the foothold positions of spider-like robots in planar tunnels bounded by piecewise linear walls. The paper focuses on 3-...
Abstract. The connectivity of the con guration space has been a valuable concept in the motion planning for single robots in both known and unknown terrains. We show here that n-co...
Mapping opaque and confined environments such as caves and pipes is a challenging problem for mobile robots because sensor information is severely limited to the immediate proximit...
