This paper presents a new method to analyze the stability of a general class of mobile robot path tracking algorithms taking into account explicitly the computation and communicat...
Autonomous robots, such as automatic vacuum cleaners, toy robot dogs, and autonomous vehicles for the military, are rapidly becoming a part of everyday life. As a result the need ...
Building robots can be a tough job because the designer has to predict the interactions between the robot and the environment as well as to deal with them. One solution to cope the...
Abstract. When applying methods of optimal control to motion planning or stabilization problems, some theoretical or numerical difficulties may arise, due to the presence of specif...
Abstract— This work addresses mission planning for autonomous underwater gliders based on predictions of an uncertain, time-varying current eld. Glider submersibles are highly se...
