We show how to recover 2D structure and motion linearly in order to initialize Simultaneous Mapping and Localization (SLAM) for bearings-only measurements and planar motion. The m...
: This paper presents the design and testing of a multi-channel vibrotactile display. It is composed of a cylindrical handle with four embedded vibrating elements driven by piezoel...

This paper presents an algorithm for simultaneous localization and mapping for a mobile robot using monocular vision and odometry. The approach uses Variable State Dimension Filte...
Most robot programming takes place in the “time domain.” That is, the goal is to specify the behavior of a system that is acquiring a continual temporal stream of inputs, and ...
Abstract— For mobile robots, as well as other learning systems, the ability to highlight unexpected features of their environment – novelty detection – is very useful. One pa...

— This paper describes decentralized control laws for the coordination of multiple vehicles performing spatially distributed tasks. The control laws are based on a gradient desce...
This paper addresses the issue of developing a motion planning algorithm for a general class of modular mobile robots. A modular mobile robot is essentially a reconfigurable robo...
Trajectory design for high-dimensional systems with nonconvex constraints is a challenging problem considered in this paper. Classical dynamic programming is often employed, but c...
: Locomotion and navigation of a surface walking/climbing robot – Planar Walker, based on a novel planar 8-bar mechanism are studied. The robot moves on a surface through decoupl...
