Abstract—This paper presents Cramér-Rao bound-like inequalities for pose tracking, which is defined as the problem of recovering the robot displacement given two successive rea...
— Piezoelectric actuators can achieve high efficiency and power density in very small geometries, which shows promise for microrobotic applications, such as flapping-wing robot...
—This paper presents HSM3D, an algorithm for global rigid 6DOF alignment of 3D point clouds. The algorithm works by projecting the two input sets into the Radon/Hough domain, who...
— We report our system and algorithm developments that enable a single mobile robot equipped with a directional antenna to simultaneously localize multiple unknown transient radi...
Abstract— A differential geometry based modeling to represent belt object deformation is proposed. Deformation of a belt object such as film circuit boards or flexible circuit ...
—In this work, we utilize a recently studied more accurate range noise model for 3D sensors to derive from scratch the expressions for the optimum plane which best fits a point-...

— A novel criterion is introduced for assessing the diversity of a collection of paths or trajectories. The main idea is the notion of survivability, which measures the likelihoo...
— We suggest a new navigation approach to mobile robots, within a nonlinear model predictive control framework where a navigation function is used as a control Lyapunov function....
— We study a fully distributed, reactive algorithm for deployment and maintenance of a mobile communication backbone that provides an area around a network gateway with wireless ...
