Typical mobile robots can be customized to perform a variety of different tasks by combining in different ways a set of basic control modules, or behaviors. By contrast, most cu...
Abstract − A deadlock-free unsafe (DFU) state of Resource Allocation System (RAS) is deadlock-free but inevitable to enter a deadlock state. Previous research revealed that in ma...
−−−− The simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) with detection and tracking of moving objects (DATMO) problem is not only to solve the SLAM problem in dynamic environ...

— In this paper, the concept of the ’robust arm configuration’ (RAC) is expanded using a mode shape compensator. This compensator improves the robustness of the arm configu...
Based on a recently developed ”generalized averaging theory,” we present a generic approach for the design of stabilizing feedback controllers for biomimetic locomotive systems...
−−−− Ordinary t-timed Petri Nets are used for modeling, analysis and synthesis of random topology production systems and networks. Each production system is first decompose...
