— This paper reports on an outdoor mobile robot that learns to avoid collisions by observing a human driver operate a vehicle equipped with sensors that continuously produce a ma...
Let B be a set of n arbitrary possibly intersecting convex obstacles in Rd. It is shown that any two points which can be connected by a path avoiding the obstacles can also be c...
Do convex obstacles in the plane always leave 3 separate escape routes? Here, an escape route is a locally geodesic path that avoids the obstacles; escape routes are separate if t...

This paper provides an overview of our framework, called physicomimetics, for the distributed control of swarms of robots. We focus on robotic behaviors that are similar to those s...
