Cooperative manipulation on the water using a swarm of autonomous tugboats
— In this paper we present a strategy that allows a swarm of autonomous tugboats to cooperatively move a large object on the water. The two main challenges are: (1) the actuators...

Design of an omnidirectional mobile robot for rough terrain
—An omnidirectional mobile robot is able, kinematically, to move in any planar direction regardless of current pose. To date, nearly all designs and analyses of omnidirectional r...
