— Forbidden-Region Virtual Fixtures (FRVFs) are traditionally imposed on users via proportional-derivative (PD) control. To reduce user penetration into the forbidden region, thi...
Abstract—This paper considers the design of a novel closedloop trajectory tracking controller for an underactuated robotic airship having 6 degrees of freedom (DOF) and 3 control...
— Coordination of a group of mobile robots is facilitated when they are able to determine their positions relative to each other. Instead of using an absolute positioning approac...
— Currently, large efforts are unertaken to bring robotic applications to domestic environments. Especially physical human-robot cooperation is a major concern and various design...
In the context of automated feeding (orienting) of industrial parts, we study the algorithmic design of traps in the bowl feeder track that filter out all but one orientation of ...
