− A new type of actuator is presented where Shape Memory Alloy (SMA) wires are embedded within artificial “blood vessels.” Fluid flowing through vessels allows the SMA wires ...
We introduce the Marco Polo Localization approach, where we apply sound as a tool for gathering range measurements between robots, and use those to solve a range-only Simultaneous...
We present an approach that uses Q-learning on individual robotic agents, for coordinating a missiontasked team of robots in a complex scenario. To reduce the size of the state sp...
— This paper addresses the problem of registering the hexapedal robot, RHex, relative to a known set of beacons, by real-time visual servoing. A suitably constructed navigation f...
In this paper we incorporate dipolar potential fields used for nonholonomic navigation into a novel potential function designed for multi – robot navigation. The derived naviga...
Abstract— This paper considers the localizaton and navigation of a mobile robot. The control strategy is based on a nonlinear model predictive control technique that utilizes the...

Abstract — In [13], a new algorithm was proposed for efficiently solving the simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) problem. In this paper, we extend this algorithm to han...
