— Research on robotic manipulation has mainly focused on manipulating rigid objects so far. However, many important application domains require manipulating deformable objects, e...
In this paper weshowthat parallel search techniquesderived fromtheir sequential counterparts can enable the solution of instances of the robot motionplanningproblemthat are comput...
Abstract— This paper presents a novel methodology for detecting collisions of cylindrically shaped rigid bodies moving in three dimensions. This algorithm uses line geometry and ...
Several motion planning methods using networks of randomly generated nodes in the free space have been shown to perform well in a number of cases, however their performance degrad...
