— The rapidly increasing complexity of tasks robotic systems are expected to carry out underscores the need for the development of motion planners that can take into account disc...
— In this paper, the dynamic model of a robot with antagonistic actuated joints is presented, and the problem of full linearization via static state feedback is analyzed. The use...

— A decentralized, adaptive control law is presented to drive a network of mobile robots to a near-optimal sensing configuration. The control law is adaptive in that it integrat...

Abstract— For the multi-robot coverage problem deterministic deliberative as well as probabilistic approaches have been proposed. Whereas deterministic approaches usually provide...
Abstract— Categorizing visual elements is fundamentally important for autonomous mobile robots to get intelligence such as new object acquisition and topological place classific...
— A key challenge for autonomous navigation in cluttered outdoor environments is the reliable discrimination between obstacles that must be avoided at all costs, and lesser obsta...

— The exploration problem is a central issue in mobile robotics. A complete coverage is not practical if the environment is large with a few small hotspots, and the sampling cost...

— In this paper we present four methods for the identification of the inertial parameters of the load of a manipulator. The knowledge of the values of these parameters can be use...
— This paper presents an approach for producing virtual fixture based on simulated plasticity, which can be used for assisting precise manual manipulations performed by human us...
