This report details our development of a computer controlled spotlight with four actuated degrees-of-freedom for pan, tilt, linear movement, and beam focusing. We review the mecha...
In this paper, we report on experiments with a core system for autonomous navigation in outdoor natural terrain. The system consists of three parts: a perception module which proc...
We present a simple approach for planning the motion of nonholonomic robots among obstacles. Existing methods lead to open-loop solutions which are either obtained in two stages, ...
We present a general framework for the modelling of a class of mechanical systems for robotic manipulation, consisting of articulated limbs with redundant tendinous actuation and ...
