This paper addresses the following inspection problem: given a known workspace and a robot with vision capabilities compute a short path path for the robot such that each point on...
Architectures form the backbone of complete robotic systems. The right choice of architecture can go a long way in facilitating the specification, implementation and validation of...
In this paper, a nonhonolonomic vehicle is stabilized to a desired pose through a wisual servoing technique. The vision-based regulation of the nonholonomic vehicle, we propose, i...
We present a system for rendering planar rigid-body motion by means of a redundant parallel mechanism. The device design, the control architecture and the passive virtual environm...

We propose a concept for integrating multiple sensors in real-time robot control. To increase the controller robustness under diverse uncertainties, the robot systematically gener...

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...

This paper investigates controllability of underactuated rolling systems consisting of a smooth object rolling on a moving smooth surface. Our system consists of a spherical ball ...
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...

Several french laboratories, joint in the CNRS Project "Control of Legged Robots", have defined a biped robot intented to experiment walking and running gaits. This bipe...
