Geometric reconstruction of the environment from images is critical in autonomous mapping and robot navigation. Geometric reconstruction involves feature tracking, i.e., locating ...
This paper proposes a new methodology for coordinating multi-robot teams in the execution of cooperative tasks. It is based on a dynamic role assignment mechanism in which the rob...

The main goal of this paper is the study of image-based stereo visual servoing. A pair of cameras is mounted on the end-effector of the manipulator arm. The visual features are t...
A semi-autonomous robot for autonomous installation and removal of aircraft warning spheres on overhead wires of electric power transmission lines is described here. Hybrid system...

We present a stereo-based obstacle avoidance system for mobile vehicles. The system operates in three steps. First, it models the surface geometry of supporting surface and remove...
This paper presents a computationally efficient method for deriving coordinate representations for the equations of motion and the affine connection describing a class of Lagrangi...
