Abstract— To perform successful manipulation, robots depend on information about objects in their environment. In unstructured environments, such information cannot be given to t...
Abstract— We incorporate sampling-based global path planning with Visual Servoing (VS) for a robotic arm equipped with an in-hand camera. The path planning accounts for a number ...
Abstract— We present a novel approach to compute collisionfree paths for multiple robots subject to local coordination constraints. More specifically, given a set of robots, the...

— This paper presents a distributed control strategy for deploying hovering robots with multiple downward facing cameras to collectively monitor an environment. Information per p...
— Robotic manipulators on ships and platforms suffer from large inertial forces due to the non-inertial motion of the ship or platform. When operating in high sea state, operatio...
— Shape is one of the useful information for object detection. The human visual system can often recognize objects based on the 2-D outline shape alone. In this paper, we address...
— Recent advances in the field of humanoid robotics increase the complexity of the tasks that such robots can perform. This makes it increasingly difficult and inconvenient to ...
—Tankbot is a miniature, energy efficient, lightweight (60 g), and robust climbing robot. It uses the continuous detachment force (peeling) of the flat, bulk tacky elastomer tr...
Abstract— We present the Constrained Bi-directional RapidlyExploring Random Tree (CBiRRT) algorithm for planning paths in configuration spaces with multiple constraints. This al...
