In this paper we discuss the problem of planning safe paths amidst unpredictably moving obstacles in the plane. Given the initial positions and the maximum speeds of the moving ob...
This paper studies the quasi-static motion of large legged robots that have many degrees of freedom. While gaited walking may suffice on easy ground, rough and steep terrain requi...
