—In this paper we propose the progressive clamping method to better model the kinematic anisotropy of joint limits for virtual mannequins or robots. Like recent approaches our me...
A tele-operated system in a robot greatly reduces the demands on the human operator, although some human intervention is still required to perform such tasks as insulator recognit...
In UML2.0, significant efforts have been devoted towards a better definition of OCL. Still, the adoption of the language by the software engineers remains a significant challenge....
— This paper addresses the design of a control law for vision-based robot navigation. The method proposed is based on a topological representation of the environment. Within this...
