— This paper addresses the problem of acquiring a hierarchically structured robotic skill in a nonstationary environment. This is achieved through a combination of learning primi...
Abstract— Many robotic control tasks involve complex dynamics that are hard to model. Hand-specifying trajectories that satisfy a system’s dynamics can be very time-consuming a...

— Using graph theory, this paper investigates how a group of robots, endowed with local positioning (range and bearing from other robots), can be engaged in a leaderfollowing mis...
Abstract— For path planning algorithms of robots it is important that the robot does not reach a state of inevitable collision. In crowded environments with many humans or robots...

— Yoyo playing may seem easy for a human, but it is a challenging problem for a humanoid robot. This paper presents an approach to generate yoyo motions for the humanoid robot, H...
—This paper introduces a high-speed vision system called IDP Express, which can execute real-time image processing and high frame rate video recording simultaneously. In IDP Expr...

Abstract— Most unmanned aerial robots use a Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS), such as GPS, GLONASS, and Galileo, for their navigation. However, from time to time the GNS...
