— For the collaborative control of a team of robots, a set of well-suited high-level control algorithms, especially for path planning and measurement scheduling, is essential. Th...
– A problem of searching with multiple searchers and scouts is presented. Unlike most search problems that terminate as soon as the target is found, successful detections by scou...
— One of the potential benefits of robotic systems in cardiac surgery is that their use can increase the number of possible off-pump (beating heart) coronary artery bypass graft...
— In this paper, the modeling and control design of a vertical flight attitude control for a mini tail-sitter with variable pitch propeller is discussed. Tail-sitters VTOL-UAVs ...

— Area coverage operations such as plowing a field or mowing a lawn can be performed faster if multiple vehicles are involved. To use a team of automated vehicles safely and eff...
— Layered hybrid controllers typically include a planner at the top level with reactive control at the lower levels. The planner considers the state of the robot in a global cont...

— When the tasks of a mission are interrelated and subject to several resource constraints, more efforts are needed to coordinate robots towards achieving the mission than indepe...
—This paper describes a series of gaits which we developed for a free crawling snake robot. Snake robots, a class of hyper-redundant mechanisms, can use their many degrees of fre...

— Piezoelectric bending actuators are an attractive option for driving microrobots due to their light weight, scalability, ease of integration and high bandwidth. However, the on...
— In this paper, we present an Extended Kalman Filter (EKF)-based estimator for simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) with processing requirements that are linear in the n...
