— A new generation of inexpensive robotic pan-tilt cameras can maintain high-resolution panoramic displays of natural environments. However, the pan-tilt mechanisms are imprecise...
This paper introduces a “weighted” matching algorithm to estimate a robot’s planar displacement by matching twodimensional range scans. The influence of each scan point on ...

— Tendon-based transmission systems present many positive aspects and greatly simplify the mechanical design of small robotic devices, such as robotic fingers. On the other hand...
We consider the problem faced by a mobile robot that has to reach a given target by traveling through an unmapped region in the plane containing oriented rectangular obstacles. We...
