— A planning method for unraveling manipulation of deformable linear objects is proposed. In manipulation of a linear object, its raveling must be avoided. It takes much time to ...
— Autonomous robot systems have to manage their energy wisely in order to complete their missions. Typical approaches seek to conserve energy by energy-efficient motion or senso...

— This paper presents the Visual Threat Awareness (VISTA) system for real time collision obstacle detection for an unmanned air vehicle (UAV). Computational stereo performance ha...
— This paper explores the space of active modular trusses, ranging from a passive truss with one independent active climbing module to fully self-reconfiguring dynamically contr...
