— Skid-steered vehicles, by design, must skid in order to maneuver. The skidding causes the vehicle to behave discontinuously as well as introduces complications to the observati...
— In this paper, a novel switching controller is proposed for a networked visual servo control system with varying feedback delay due to image processing and data transmission. T...
Abstract— This work addresses mission planning for autonomous underwater gliders based on predictions of an uncertain, time-varying current eld. Glider submersibles are highly se...

— We describe a simple and intuitive policy gradient method for improving parametrized quadrocopter multi-flips by combining iterative experiments with information from a first...
— This paper focuses on psychophysical evaluation of the control scheme developed to optimize the kinesthetic perception during the scaled teleoperation. The control problem is f...

— Powered wheelchairs play a vital role in bringing independence to the severely mobility–impaired. Our robotic wheelchair aims to assist users in driving safely, without under...
— Reinforcement learning (RL) is one of the most general approaches to learning control. Its applicability to complex motor systems, however, has been largely impossible so far d...
— This paper presents the design and practical implementation of an autonomous dynamic positioning scheme, i.e., the stabilization of linear and angular velocities as well as t...
Abstract— Kinodynamic planning algorithms like RapidlyExploring Randomized Trees (RRTs) hold the promise of finding feasible trajectories for rich dynamical systems with complex...
—We are concerned with enabling truly large scale autonomous navigation in typical human environments. To this end we describe the acquisition and modeling of large urban spaces ...
