Exact cellular decompositions are structures that globally encode the topology of a robot's free space, while locally describing the free space's geometry. These structu...

This paper deals with an absolute localization paradigm based on the cooperation of an omnidirectional vision system and a low cost panoramic range finder system. These two percep...

We present techniques for fast motion planning by using discrete approximations of generalized Voronoi diagrams, computed with graphics hardware. Approaches based on this diagram ...

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...
Determination of the magnitudes and directions of the constraints of a mechanical system can be achieved by finding the basis of the system’s characteristic compliance matrix. ...
