— The E∗ algorithm is a path planning method capable of dynamic replanning and user-configurable path cost interpolation. It calculates a navigation function as a sampling of ...
Abstract— This paper presents a novel approach for visionbased control of the end-effector of parallel mechanisms. It is based on the metrological redundancy paradigm, which simp...

— We present AmphiBot I, an amphibious snake robot capable of crawling and swimming. Experiments have been carried out to characterize how the speed of locomotion depends on the ...
— A new distributed coordination algorithm for multi-vehicle systems is presented in this paper. The algorithm combines a particular choice of navigation function with Voronoi pa...
— This paper presents the Visual Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (vSLAMTM ) algorithm, a novel algorithm for simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM). The algorithm is ...

— Personal service robots are expected to help people in their everyday life in the near future. Such robots must be able to not only move around but also perform various operati...
Abstract Our work aims at developing a robust discriminant controller for robot programming by demonstration. It addresses two core issues of imitation learning, namely what to...
— This paper describes a generation method for spatially natural biped walking. By limiting the COG (Center of Gravity) motion space to a sculptured surface, the degree of freedo...
— This paper presents a method to determine whether an assembly of planar parts will stay assembled as it is pushed over a support surface. For a given pushing motion, an assembl...
