Abstract— We study the problem of designing motionplanning and sensor assignment strategies for tracking multiple targets with a mobile sensor network. We focus on triangulation ...
— In this paper, a path planning and its evaluation method is described with taking into account wheel slip dynamics of lunar/planetary exploration rovers. The surface of the pla...
— Consider a biped evolving in the sagittal plane. The unexpected rotation of the supporting foot can be avoided by controlling the zero moment point or ZMP. The objective of thi...
