This paper investigates controllability of underactuated rolling systems consisting of a smooth object rolling on a moving smooth surface. Our system consists of a spherical ball ...
Exact cellular decompositions are structures that globally encode the topology of a robot's free space, while locally describing the free space's geometry. These structu...

Several french laboratories, joint in the CNRS Project "Control of Legged Robots", have defined a biped robot intented to experiment walking and running gaits. This bipe...
We present a navigation algorithm, which integrates virtual obstacle concept with a potential-field-based method to maneuver cylindrical mobile robots in unknown or unstructured e...

Manufacturing enterprise automation was focused on factory level where scheduling is a key issue in the past. As more and more companies are relying on their business parmers or s...
We document our initial e orts to instantiate visuallyguided cooperative behaviors between robotic agents in the minifactory environment. Minifactory incorporates high-precision 2...
