Abstract— A system is detailed here for using imitation learning to teach a robot to grasp objects using both hand and wholebody grasps, which use the arms and torso as well as h...
— We report our development of a vision-based motion planning system for an autonomous motorcycle designed for desert terrain, where uniform road surface and lane markings are no...

— Robots that can interact naturally with humans require the integration and coordination of many different components with heavy computational demands. We argue that an architec...
In this investigation a robotic system’s dynamic performance is optimized for high reliability under uncertainty. The dynamic capability equations allow designers to predict the...

— To operate outdoors or on non-flat surfaces, mobile robots need appropriate data structures that provide a compact representation of the environment and at the same time suppo...
Abstract— This paper presents a new approach to the multirobot map-alignment problem that enables teams of robots to build joint maps without initial knowledge of their relative ...
— Vision-based control of wheeled vehicles is a difficult problem due to nonholonomic constraints on velocities. This is further complicated in the control of vehicles with drif...
— This paper reports on an outdoor mobile robot that learns to avoid collisions by observing a human driver operate a vehicle equipped with sensors that continuously produce a ma...
