This paper presents results from the experimental evaluation of a state-of-the-art fiber-optics gyroscope. The purpose of our experiments was to evaluate the suitability of this g...
Assembly is a fundamental issue in the volume production of products that include microscopic submillimeter parts. These parts are often fabricated in parallel at high density but...
In June and July 1997, Nomad, a planetary-relevant mobile robot, traversed more than 220 kilometers across the barren Atacama Desert in Chile, exploring a landscape analogous to t...

This paper describes the new localisation algorithms under implementation for the mail distributing mobile robot, MOPS, of the Institute of Robotics, Swiss Federal Institute of Te...
Parts orienting, the process of bringing parts in initially unknown orientations to a goal orientation, is an important aspect of automated assembly. Bowl feeders used in industry...
This paper presents a comparative evaluation of different distance metrics and local planners within the context of probabilistic roadmap methods for motion planning. Both C-space...
