— We develop decentralized controllers for a swarm of robots to generate a desired two-dimensional geometric pattern specified by a smooth function while maintaining specified ...
— The Mobile Robot Programming Laboratory course has been taught at Carnegie Mellon University for the past twelve years. It is a problem-driven class designed for students with ...
— This paper considers the problem of tracking an unknown number of targets using a wireless sensor network for surveillance. In particular, we consider the case in which each se...

— This paper presents a vision-based control strategy for decentralized stabilization of unmanned vehicle (UV) formations. The key point of the algorithm is that it only requires...
– This paper presents two actuation compensation methods for a snake-like robot implementing multi flexible backbones and actuation redundancy. This snake-like robot is designed ...
— In this paper, we present a delayed algorithm for landmark initialization based on a Scaled Unscented Filter. The algorithm efficiently gives well-conditioned feature location...
— In this paper, we present our threefold concept of ”bringing robotics closer to students”. Our efforts begin with motivating high-school students to study engineering scien...
— Robots are increasingly being used in Computer Integrated Surgery (CIS) systems, yet to our knowledge, there is no open source software that is specifically targeted at this a...
– The paper deals with fitting of planar patches to 3D laser range data obtained by a mobile robot. The number and the initial position of the patches are unknown, hence their es...
