Abstract— For the multi-robot coverage problem deterministic deliberative as well as probabilistic approaches have been proposed. Whereas deterministic approaches usually provide...
Abstract— Categorizing visual elements is fundamentally important for autonomous mobile robots to get intelligence such as new object acquisition and topological place classific...
— A key challenge for autonomous navigation in cluttered outdoor environments is the reliable discrimination between obstacles that must be avoided at all costs, and lesser obsta...

— In this paper we present four methods for the identification of the inertial parameters of the load of a manipulator. The knowledge of the values of these parameters can be use...
— This paper presents an approach for producing virtual fixture based on simulated plasticity, which can be used for assisting precise manual manipulations performed by human us...
— In order to achieve reliable autonomous control in advanced robotic systems like entertainment robots, assistive robots, humanoid robots and autonomous vehicles, sensory data n...
— We describe the design and control of a new bio-inspired climbing robot designed to scale smooth vertical surfaces using directional adhesive materials. The robot, called Stick...
