— Our goal is polygonal approximation of laser range data points obtained by a mobile robot. The proposed approach provides a precise estimation of the number of model components...
Abstract— This paper studies the effect of communicationlink weighting schemes and long-range connections in speeding convergence to consensus on the average of the inputs to age...
— A robot exploring an environment can estimate its own motion and the relative positions of features in the environment. Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) algorithms ...
— The configuration space of a robot is partitioned into free space and C-obstacle space. Most of the prior work in collision detection and motion planning algorithms is targete...

— In this paper, we analyze the mechanism of the phenomenon between an endeffector, a micro object and a substrate during a micro manipulation. In a micro range, the attracting f...
- Robotic manipulation at the nanometer scale is a promising technology for structuring, characterizing and assembling nano building blocks into nanoelectromechanical systems (NEMS...

— This paper discusses jumping pattern generation for a serial link robot in order to maximize its jump height under torque limitation. By applying a genetic algorithm (GA) for d...
— A numerical simulation of the magnetic field in the imaging volume of a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanner and a method for quick searches for electromagnetic noise sour...
— We investigate a technique that uses an embedded network deployed pervasively throughout an environment to aid robots in navigation. First, we show that the path computed by th...
