The context of this paper is to study the use of capillary microgripper in submerged mediums which requires the use of microbubbles. This paper presents a model and experimentatio...
— As the size of the modules in a self-reconfiguring modular robotic system shrinks and the number of modules increases, the flexibility of the system as a whole increases. In ...

— An alternative to the conventional quantization for occupied voxel lists in both 2D and 3D is presented. The performance metrics of the hexagonal lattice in 2D and the face cen...
Abstract— This paper presents the design and implementation of a Mission Control System (MCS) for an Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) based on Petri nets. In the proposed appr...
—Current fully autonomous robots are unable to navigate effectively in visually complex environments due to limitations in sensing and cognition. Full teleoperation using current...

— A fast and robust method for visual odometry based on the Fourier-Mellin Invariant (FMI) descriptor is presented. It extends previous FMI based approaches in two ways. First, a...
— In this paper, we propose a novel approach for the visual navigation of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV). In contrast to most available methods, a single perspective camera is us...

— By combining a low-order model of forecast errors, the extended Kalman filter, and classical continuous optimization, we develop an integrated methodology for planning mobile ...
Abstract—Experimental analyses of propulsion in freelyswimming fishes have led to the development of self-propelling pectoral and caudal fin robotic devices. These biorobotic mod...
