— In a wide range of applications the orientation of a rigid body does not need to be restricted to one given orientation, but can be given as a continuous set of frames. We addr...
Abstract— Skid-steered mobile robots are widely used because of the simplicity of mechanism and high reliability. However, understanding of the kinematics and dynamics of such a ...
— This paper addresses two key limitations of the unscented Kalman filter (UKF) when applied to the simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) problem: the cubic, in the numbe...

— We present an algorithm for learning 3D object models from partial object observations. The input to our algorithm is a sequence of 3D laser range scans. Models learned from th...

Abstract—Flexible and reliable connection is critical for selfreconfiguration, self-assembly, or self-healing. However, most existing connection mechanisms suffer from a deficien...
— Recently, the problem of autonomous navigation of automobiles has gained substantial interest in the robotics community. Especially during the two recent DARPA grand challenges...
— Dynamic stability allows running animals to maintain preferred speed during locomotion over rough terrain. It appears that rapid disturbance rejection is an emergent property o...
