The Keystone Fire Brigade is a robotic rescue team that has previously competed in competitions at Robocup (Fukuoka, 2002; Padua 2003), AAAI (Edmonton, 2002), and IJCAI (Acapulco,...
— We propose a novel switching control law for the posture stabilization of a wheeled mobile robot, that utilizes the (energetic) passivity of the system’s open-loop dynamics w...
Abstract— This paper describes a novel approach for multirobot caging and manipulation, which relies on the team of robots forming patterns that trap the object to be manipulated...
— We present an efficient algorithm to compute the generalized penetration depth (PDg) between rigid models. Given two overlapping objects, our algorithm attempts to compute the...
— We present a new motion planning framework that explicitly considers uncertainty in robot motion to maximize the probability of avoiding collisions and successfully reaching a ...
— Many robot motion planning problems can be described as a combination of motion through relatively sparsely filled regions of configuration space and motion through tighter p...
Abstract— We address the problem of surveillance in an environment with obstacles. We show that the problem of tracking an evader with one pursuer around one corner is completely...
