— In this work, we present an integrated planner for collision-free single and dual arm grasping motions. The proposed Grasp-RRT planner combines the three main tasks needed for ...
— In this paper we propose a new on-line sensor self-calibration framework. The approach is to consider the sensor/robot interaction that links the sensor signal variations to th...
Abstract— We present successful control strategies for dynamically stable robots that avoid low ceilings and other vertical obstacles in a manner similar to limbo dances. Given t...
— This paper considers the problem of realizing a 6-DOF closed-loop motion simulator by exploiting an anthropomorphic serial manipulator as motion platform. Contrary to standard ...

— This paper presents a novel approach based on Jacobi shape theory and geometric reduction for formation control of autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs). We consider a three de...
— We aim to perform robust and fast vision-based localization using a pre-existing large map of the scene. A key step in localization is associating the features extracted from t...
— A revisited quadrotor model is proposed, including in particular the so-called rotor drag. It differs from the model usually considered, even at first order, and much better e...
Abstract— The problem of place recognition appears in different mobile robot navigation problems including localization, SLAM, or change detection in dynamic environments. Wherea...
— We consider the kinematic control problem for nonholonomic mobile manipulators (NMMs) whose base contains steering wheels. For all typical tasks, the steering velocity inputs o...

— Reinforcement learning (RL) algorithms have long been promising methods for enabling an autonomous robot to improve its behavior on sequential decision-making tasks. The obviou...
