— This paper presents the estimation of the force applied by a piezocantilever dedicated to micromanipulation/microassembly. Relative to previous works, the presented method avoi...
— In this paper we present a novel framework for computing the steady turning motion of a robotic fish undergoing periodic body and/or tail deformation. Taking the turning radiu...

— In the Autonomous City Explorer (ACE) project a mobile robot is developed, which is capable of finding its way to a given destination in an unknown urban environment. An exemp...
Abstract— We consider the task of planning smooth trajectories for robot motion. In this paper we make two contributions. First we present a method for cubic spline optimization;...
— We present a new type of oriented bounding surfaces, which is particularly well suited for shortest distance computations. The bounding surfaces are obtained by considering sur...
— For mobile platforms with steerable standard wheels it is necessary to precisely coordinate rotation and steering angle of their wheels. An established approach to ensure this ...
