Abstract—This paper considers the design of a novel closedloop trajectory tracking controller for an underactuated robotic airship having 6 degrees of freedom (DOF) and 3 control...
— This paper describes a 2D localization method for a differential drive mobile vehicle on real forested paths. The mobile vehicle is equipped with two rotary encoders, Crossbow...
Abstract— The widespread success of sampling-based planning algorithms stems from their ability to rapidly discover the connectivity of a configuration space. Past research has ...
— Forbidden-Region Virtual Fixtures (FRVFs) are traditionally imposed on users via proportional-derivative (PD) control. To reduce user penetration into the forbidden region, thi...
Abstract— In this paper, we explore the capabilities of actuated models of the compass gait walker on rough terrain. We solve for the optimal high-level feedback policy to negoti...
