Abstract— We consider the problem of planning collisionfree motions for general (i.e., possibly nonholonomic) redundant robots subject to task space constraints. Previous approac...
— In this paper, we describe a framework for the autonomous capture and servicing of satellites. The work is based on laboratory experiments that illustrate the autonomy and remo...
In field environments it is not usually possible to provide robots in advance with valid geometric models of its environment and task element locations. The robot or robot teams ne...
— Planetary exploration systems, operating under severe environmental and operating conditions, have thus far successfully employed carefully calibrated stereo cameras and manipu...
