— The possibility of controlling humanoid robots in free-space opens new fields of application involving freefloating behaviors. Recently, we presented a prioritized taskorient...
— A good localization ability is essential for an autonomous vehicle to perform any functions. For ground vehicles operating in outdoor, uneven and unstructured environments, the...

— This paper investigates how to generate cyclic gaits for multi-bodied isolated mechanical systems whose configuration space is represented by a trivial fiber bundle. We descr...
— Probabilistic sampling-based motion planners are unable to detect when no feasible path exists. A common heuristic is to declare a query infeasible if a path is not found in a ...

Abstract— This paper examines the novel use of a sawtooth surface with simple planar and symmetric vibration for unidirectional micro-parts feeding. In micro-parts feeding, to dr...
— Recently Rao-Blackwellized particle filters have been introduced as effective means to solve the simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) problem. This approach uses a par...
