The motion-planning problem, involving the computation of a collision-free path for a moving entity amidst obstacles, is a central problem in fields like Robotics and Game Design....
We consider the problem of grasping novel objects, specifically ones that are being seen for the first time through vision. Grasping a previously unknown object, one for which a 3...
: We present algorithms for computing all placements of two and three fingers that cage a given polygonal object with n edges in the plane. A polygon is caged when it is impossible...
: This paper presents an image-based visual servoing strategy for the autonomous navigation of a mobile holonomic robot from a current toward a desired pose, specified only through...
