— More and more work in the field of artificial olfaction considers the integration of olfaction onto robotic systems. An important part of this integration is providing the ro...
— We present a semi-parametric control policy representation and use it to solve a series of nonholonomic control problems with input state spaces of up to 7 dimensions. A neares...
- Many of NASA's planned missions for the coming decade will require a pinpoint landing (PPL) capability, whether for sample acquisition and return or for precise insertion in...
Abstract— High-dimensional problems arising from complex robotic systems test the limits of current motion planners and require the development of efficient distributed motion p...
— This paper presents an epipolar based visual servoing for mobile robots equipped with a panoramic camera. The proposed visual servoing is based on the epipolar geometry and exp...

— Minimum distance localization is the problem of finding the shortest possible path for a robot to eliminate ambiguity regarding its position in the environment. We consider th...
- This paper presents an approach to utilize UPnP as a middleware for robots. It describes the advantages of UPnP by comparing UPnP with TAO CORBA that was used in a few robot deve...
