— This paper is concerned with path planning for an autonomous flight vehicle operating in a steady, uniform flow-field. We model the vehicle as a particle that travels in the...

— This paper considers a shortcutting heuristic to smooth jerky trajectories for many-DOF robot manipulators subject to collision constraints, velocity bounds, and acceleration b...
Abstract— This paper presents a geometry-based, multilayered synergistic approach to solve motion planning problems for mobile robots involving temporal goals. The temporal goals...
— Single-query sampling-based motion planners are an efficient class of algorithms widely used today to solve challenging motion planning problems. This paper exposes the common...
Abstract— Navigating through unknown outdoor environments requires a robot to be able to see and model the far field terrain. In recent years this problem of seeing beyond relia...
Abstract— An estimation algorithm is developed for determining pitch and roll angles (tilt) of a rigid body fixed at a pivot using multiple accelerometers. The estimate is globa...
— A team of robots cooperating to quickly produce a map needs to share landmark information between members so that the local maps can be accurately merged. However, the appearan...
— A method for implementing the ankle and hip balance control strategies, well known from studies on human balance control, is suggested. The moment of the acting disturbance for...
— While there has been substantial progress for multi-robot exploration of an unknown area, little attention has been given to communication, especially bandwidth constraints in ...
— There has been significant progress recently in object recognition research, but many of the current approaches still fail for object classes with few distinctive features, an...
