Abstract— Crawler mechanisms have the advantage of stable navigation on uneven terrain; as a result, such mechanisms have been adopted for many types of locomotion of outdoor rob...
—This paper addresses the design considerations and dexterity evaluation of a novel hybrid two-armed micro-surgical slave robot equipped with intraocular dexterity devices. A uni...

— In this paper we propose a SLAM framework which is based on an algorithm that combines an Unscented Particle Filter (UPF) and Unscented Kalman Filters (UKFs). A UPF is used to ...
: Small unmanned vertical take off and landing vehicles are used to provide the eye-in-the-sky alternative to monitoring and regulating traffic dynamically. Spatial-temporal visual...
Abstract— Sampling-based algorithms have dramatically improved the state of the art in robotic motion planning. However, they make restrictive assumptions that limit their applic...
— We present a sampling-based path planning and replanning algorithm that produces anytime solutions. Our algorithm tunes the quality of its result based on available search time...
