— This paper presents a self-positioning system for the mobile robot. The proposed positioning system consists of a stereo setup of two ODVs (Omni-Directional Vision) for obtaini...
— We present an O(n log1+ε n)-time algorithm for computing the optimal robot motion that maintains lineof-sight visibility between a target moving inside a polygon with n vertic...
In this paper, we discuss the modeling of the kinematics and dynamics of compliant contact between bodies moving in Euclidean space. First, we derive the kinematic equations descr...
Abstract— We discuss a software environment for multirobot, multi-platform mobile robot control and simulation. Like others, we have observed that mobile robotics research is gre...
— In this paper we present a novel method for robot path planning based on learning motion patterns. A motion pattern is defined as the path that results from applying a set of ...
— This paper addresses the problem of simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) by a mobile robot. The SLAM problem is defined as a global optimization problem in which the o...
The NASA/DARPA Robonaut system is evolving from a purely teleoperator controlled anthropomorphic robot towards a humanoid system with multiple control pathways. Robonaut is a huma...

Abstract—This paper presents a systematic approach to generate walking primitive databases for anthropomorphic 3D–bipeds allowing step length adaptation, direction changes and ...
This paper describes recent developments on the model identification and attitude control system for a Micmmechanical Flying lnsect (MFI). We include recently developed dynamical m...
