— We suggest a new navigation approach to mobile robots, within a nonlinear model predictive control framework where a navigation function is used as a control Lyapunov function....
— The present paper introduces an evaluation of the manipulation performance of a robotic arm with respect to control accuracy and mechanical efficiency, taking into considerati...
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...
In this paper, the stability of objects in graspless manipulation (or nonprehensile manipulation) is investigated. In contrast with the stability of grasps, it is crucial for the ...
This paper describes the CMUnited-99 small-size robot team. The team builds on our previous RoboCup champion teams (’97 and ’98). The team reuses much of the hardware, percepti...
