Abstract— For ground vehicle localization, hybrid-GNSS localizers now use commonly dead-reckoning sensors, like odometers or inertial units. They are designed to increase the acc...
— Most of traditional biped walkers based on passive dynamic walking have arc feet and locked ankle joints. In this paper, we propose the method to substitute the arc feet with ï...
— This paper presents a standing balance controller. We employ a library of optimal trajectories and the neighboring optimal control method to generate local approximations to th...
— We study a path planning problem which arises when multiple robots are used to gather data from stationary devices with wireless communication capabilities. Each device has a g...
— The ability of mobile robots to generate feasible trajectories online is an important requirement for their autonomous operation in unstructured environments. Many path generat...
— In nature, animal groups achieve robustness and scalability with each individual executes a simple and adaptive strategy. Inspired by this phenomenon, we propose a decentralize...
— Visual servoing schemes generally employ various image features (points, lines, moments etc.) in their control formulation. This paper presents a novel method for using boundar...
