— In this work, we have extended the concept of constrained motion control of robots to surgical tasks that require multiple robots. We present virtual fixtures to guide the mot...
— Characterizing optimal paths for mobile robots is an interesting, important, and challenging endeavor. Not only they are interesting with respect to the optimized criteria, but...

Abstract— We provide a method for planning under uncertainty for robotic manipulation by partitioning the configuration space into a set of regions that are closed under complia...
We consider planning optimal collision-free motions of two polygonal robots under translation. Each robot has a reference point that must lie on a given graph, called a roadmap, w...
