In autonomous robotics, so-called artificial potential fields are often used to plan and control the motion of a physical robot. In this paper, we propose to use an artificial e...
This paper discusses a novel approach to combining human and machine intelligence in teleoperation of 6 degree of freedom (DOF) arm manipulators. Two algorithms are presented that...
We analyze a class of mechanisms that locomote by switching between constraints. Because of the hybrid nature of such systems, most of the existing analysis tools, developed prima...
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 ...
An effective and fast algorithm is given for rotational overlap minimization: given an overlapping layout of polygons P1, P2, P3, . . . , Pk in a container polygon Q, translate an...
