Minimally invasive surgery (MIS) involves a multidimensional series of tasks requiring a synthesis between visual information and the kinematics and dynamics of the surgical tools...

In this paper we present a novel approach to mobile robot navigation in natural unstructured environments. Natural scenes can be considered as random fields where a large number ...
In the previous reports, we presented a miniature inpipe robot called MRINSPECT (Multifunctional Robotic crawler for INpipe inSPECTion) IV which has been developed for the inspect...
— Stochastic mapping is an approach to the concurrent mapping and localization (CML) problem. The approach is powerful because feature and robot states are explicitly correlated....

This paper presents a new criterion for the asymptotic stance stability of a statically balanced legged robot. Typically, the static balance criterion only considers that the cent...
We describe results on combining depth information from a laser range-finder and color and texture image cues to segment ill-structured dirt, gravel, and asphalt roads as input t...
Abstract- Procurement, i.e., the process of obtaining materials or services and managing their inflow into organizations, is a critical process in supply chain management. Internet...
This paper introduces a modular modeling approach for distributed production systems, considering production and maintenance processes synchronization. Thus, production job shop, p...

This paper describes a multi-layered hierarchical motion planning strategy for a class of self-reconfigurable modular robotic systems, I-Cubes. The approach is based on the synthe...
