— We propose a 3D obstacle avoidance method for mobile robots. Besides the robot’s 2D laser range finder, a Timeof-Flight camera is used to perceive obstacles that are not in ...
Abstract— Localization in multi-robot systems is a key problem in multi agent systems. In many cases, specially involving legged robots, like the Robocup soccer competition, it r...

Abstract— In this paper, we present a new hierarchical optimization solution to the graph-based simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) problem. During online mapping, the a...
—Rehabilitation robots, together with vision and audio systems form the multimodal environment for exercising the person in a number of ways, unavoidably influencing the physiolo...

—An analogy between the dynamics of a cart-pole system and vehicle rollover dynamics is used to derive a controller for tipping up and stabilizing a planar model of a passenger v...
Abstract— We present an investigation of dynamic team formation strategies for robot ensembles performing a collection of nd two-robot tasks. Specifically, we consider the abstr...
Suppose we want to move a passive object along a given path, among obstacles in the plane, by pushing it with an active robot. We present two algorithms to compute a push plan for...
— Classically, the inverse kinematics is performed by computing the singular value decomposition of the matrix to invert. This enables a very simple writing of the algorithm. How...
