— This paper presents a method for a planar rigid body consisting of multiple convex bodies to explore an unknown planar workspace, i.e., an unknown configuration space diffeomo...
Abstract— We are developing a swarm-intelligent inspection system based on a swarm of autonomous, miniature robots, using only on-board, local sensors. To estimate intrinsic adva...
— In this paper we formulate the “generalized inverse kinematics problem” for a spatial serial chain, where the goal is to determine values for structural parameters as well ...
Abstract— Autonomous mobile agents require object recognition for high level interpretation and localization in complex scenes. In urban environments, recognition of buildings mi...
— For a mobile robot it is a natural task to build a 3D model of its environment. Such a model is not only useful for planning robot actions but also to provide a remote human su...

— In this work, we present a framework for the development of a planar mobile robot controller based on image plane feedback. We show that the design of such a motion controller ...
— Direct human control of multi-robot systems is limited by the cognitive ability of humans to coordinate numerous interacting components. In remote environments, such as those e...

— In this paper, navigation and control of autonomous mobile unicycle robots in a complex and partially known obstacleridden environment is considered. The unicycle dynamic model...
