— We introduce precomputed multizone elastokinematic models for interactive simulation of multibody kinematic systems which include elastostatic deformations. This enables an e...
If multiple cleaning robots are used to cooperatively clean a larger room, e.g. an airport, the room must be partitioned among the robots. This paper describes a dynamic and decen...
Abstract— This paper presents some recent developments of the LAAS architecture for autonomous mobile robots. In particular, we specify the role of the Execution Control level of...
It is needed for humanoid to acquire not only just a trajectory but also aim of the behavior and symbolic information during behavior development. We have proposed the mimesis sys...
This article presents a new approach to movement planning, on-line trajectory modification, and imitation learning by representing movement plans based on a set of nonlinear di...
Future planetary exploration missions will require rovers to traverse very rough terrain with limited human supervision. Wheel-terrain interaction plays a critical role in rough-t...
This paper describes recent work undertaken at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, CA in the area of increased rover autonomy for planetary surface operations. The primary ...
