— In this paper we propose a systematic way of incorporating human inputs in navigation plans. The proposed controller is based on a new class of navigation function based contro...
— We develop decentralized controllers for a team of disk-shaped robots to converge to and circulate along the boundary of a desired two-dimensional geometric pattern specified ...
— Computing optimal paths for mobile robots is an interesting and important problem. This paper presents a method to compute the shortest path for a differential-drive mobile rob...
—The manipulation of flexible and limp sheet materials is a common requirement in many industrial manufacturing processes, however automation of even simple tasks involving these...
— The contact tonometer is commonly used for measuring the internal eye pressure to diagnose glaucoma. However, the conventional eye pressure measurement is valid only under the ...
