— This paper presents a multi-scale point and line based representation of two-dimensional range scan data. The techniques are based on a multi-scale Hough transform and a tree r...
Abstract— This paper describes the application of a RaoBlackwellized Particle Filter to the problem of simultaneous localization and mapping onboard a hovering autonomous underwa...

— This paper addresses the consistency issue of the Extended Kalman Filter approach to the simultaneous localization and mapping (EKF-SLAM) problem. Linearization of the inherent...
— Free-space dilation is an effective approach for narrow passage sampling, a well-recognized difficulty in probabilistic roadmap (PRM) planning. Key to this approach are method...
- This paper reports the pneumatic PDMS micro hand as an endeffector of robot and miniaturized parallel link robot (guide robot) for manipulating a tiny and delicate object. Micro ...

— In this paper, we consider the problem of exploring an unknown environment with a team of mobile robots. One of the key issues in multi-robot exploration is how to assign targe...
— This paper presents a comparative analysis relative to the experimental performances of an asymptotically fast and incremental algorithm, recently developed to compute collisio...
— Humans rely on information-laden high-frequency accelerations in addition to quasi-static forces when interacting with objects via a handheld tool. Telerobotic systems have tra...
— We present a control approach that uses a library of trajectories to establish a global control law or policy. This is an alternative to methods for finding global policies ba...
