— This paper considers the problem of controlling a group of agents under the constraint that every agent must be given the same control input. This problem is relevant for the c...
— Multi-robot systems require efficient and accurate planning in order to perform mission-critical tasks. However, algorithms that find the optimal solution are usually computa...
— In this paper, we design planar nR serial chains that provide one degree-of-freedom movement for an end-effector through five arbitrarily specified task positions. These chai...
—In this paper we show that all processes associated to the move-sense-update cycle of EKF SLAM can be carried out in time linear in the number of map features. We describe Divid...
— This paper presents a method for Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM), relying on a monocular camera as the only sensor, which is able to build outdoor, closed-loop map...

— In this paper a new leader-follower formation of nonholonomic mobile robots is studied. The follower is a car-like vehicle and the leader is a tractor pulling a trailer. The le...
— We develop a systematic approach to incorporating uncertainty into planning manipulation tasks with frictional contacts. We consider the canonical problem of assembling a peg i...
