Abstract— In the recent past, many researchers have developed control algorithms for visual servo applications. In this paper, we introduce a new hybrid switched system approach,...
— Important theoretical aspects of multi-robot coordination mechanisms have, to date, been largely ignored. To address part of this negligence, we focus on the problem of multi-r...
This paper presents a methodologyfor the evaluation of the performance of a given Haptic Display. The procedure can be carried out throughthe own proper sensors/actuarors which eq...
- The performance of monocular vision based target tracking is a strong function of camera motion. Without motion, the target estimation problem is unsolvable. By designing the cam...
Abstract – For conventional designs of robots, manipulator motions result in forces and moments on the base. These forces and moments may cause undesirable translation and rotati...
Abstract— In this paper we describe the use of automatic exploration for autonomous mapping of outdoor scenes. We describe a real-time SLAM implementation along with an autonomou...
— We present a framework for composing motor controllers into autonomous composite reactive behaviors for bipedal robots and autonomous, physically-simulated humanoids. A key con...
