— This paper considers the problem of multi-robot patrol around a closed area with the existence of an adversary attempting to penetrate into the area. In case the adversary know...
— In this paper, we propose a reinforcement learning approach to address multi-robot cooperative navigation tasks in infinite settings. We propose an algorithm to simultaneously...
Abstract—This paper presents a new task assignment algorithm that integrates area search and target tracking. A new tracking metric is derived that encodes the ability of each ro...
— In this paper we present a system that uses only vision to land a UAV on a runway. We describe a method for estimating the relative location of the runway as an image by perfor...
— We propose a new framework and novel visual control system for motile cells in three-dimensional (3-D) space. Our goal is to utilize microorganisms as micro-robots in various a...
— To introduce a passive compliant mechanism for robot joints is an effective way for impact absorption. However, because robot joints also require high torque transmission chara...
— Computationally efficient motion planning must avoid exhaustive exploration of configuration space. We argue that this can be accomplished most effectively by carefully balan...
— The lack of a parameterized observation model in robot localization using occupancy grids requires the application of sampling-based methods, or particle filters. This work ad...
