— This paper is concerned with determining whether a mobile robot, called the pursuer, is up to maintaining visibility of an antagonist agent, called the evader. This problem, a ...
Abstract— Computing a motion that enables a mobile manipulator to open a door is challenging because it requires tight coordination between the motions of the arm and the base. H...
— This paper presents a solution to decentralized Voronoi coverage in non-convex polygonal environments. We show that complications arise when existing approaches to Voronoi cove...

— We present a novel approach which enables a mobile robot to estimate its trajectory in an unknown environment with long-range passive radio-frequency identification (RFID). Th...
— Sidewinding is an efficient translation gait used by snakes over flat ground. When implemented on snake robots, it retains its general effectiveness, but becomes unstable on ...
Abstract— Autonomous robot navigation in outdoor scenarios gains increasing importance in various growing application areas. Whereas in non-urban domains such as deserts the prob...
Abstract— We present a path planning method for autonomous underwater vehicles in order to maximize mutual information. We adapt a method previously used for surface vehicles, an...

— This paper presents a multi-skill motion planner which is able to sequentially synchronize parameterized motion skills in order to achieve humanoid motions exhibiting complex w...
— This paper is concerned with path planning for an autonomous flight vehicle operating in a steady, uniform flow-field. We model the vehicle as a particle that travels in the...
