— This paper addresses the cooperative transport of a heavy object by a group of mobile robots. We present a system in which group members lacking knowledge about the position of...
— A new strategy is developed for tracking an odor plume in an environment where wind is present. The strategy is inspired by the mechanisms that animals use to orient to stimuli...
This paper introduces a method that reconstructs a surface patch by sampling along three concurrent curves on the surface with a touch sensor. These data curves, each lying in a d...
— We propose a novel solution to the problem of inverse kinematics for redundant robotic manipulators for the purposes of goal selection for path planning. We unify the calculati...
- This paper describes an approach that performs visual object detection in real-time by combining the strength of processing the color segmented image along with that of the grays...
— We present a vision- and ladar-based approach to autonomous driving on rural and desert roads that has been tested extensively in a closed-loop system. The vision component use...
— A legged robot walking on uneven terrain can avoid falling only by applying contact forces with its feet on the ground that compensate for gravity without causing slip. To plan...
— Robotics technology promises an enhanced way of performing off-pump coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery. In the robotic-assisted CABG surgery, surgeon performs the oper...
— Telepresence systems are often deployed in scenarios where communication bandwidth is limited. Consequently, data exchanged between operator and teleoperator has to be reduced....
