— This paper presents the Common State Filter (CSF), a novel and efficient suboptimal Multiple Hypothesis SLAM (MHSLAM) method for Kalman Filter-based SLAM algorithms. Conventio...
— The synchronization of image sequences acquired by robots swarms is an essential task for localization operations. We address this problem by considering the swarms as dynamic ...
Abstract— This paper proposes the kinodynamic gait planning for humanoid robots where both kinematics and dynamics of the system are considered. We can simultaneously plan both t...
— This paper describes a visual odometry algorithm for estimating frame-to-frame camera motion from successive stereo image pairs. The algorithm differs from most visual odometry...
— Behavior-based controllers for complex missions often are more easily designed by decomposing the mission into a series of smaller subtasks. When applying this technique to a m...
— The development of an oscillator controller for a quadruped robot with antagonistic pairs of pneumatic actuators is reported. Periodic motions of the legs switch between the sw...
— The present study investigates the effect of the number of controlled robots on performance of an urban search and rescue (USAR) task using a realistic simulation. Task perform...

Abstract— As robots become more commonplace within society, the need for tools to enable non-robotics-experts to develop control algorithms, or policies, will increase. Learning ...
— Carrying heavy payloads is a challenging task for the modular robot, because its composing modules are relatively tiny and less strong compared with conventional robots. To acc...
