— We address the problem of real-time navigation in dynamic environments for car-like robots. Our approach generalizes the concept of velocity obstacles, which have been used for...
—This paper presents a novel design and preliminary kinematic analysis of an Insertable Robotic Effector Platform (IREP) for Single Port Access (SPA) Surgery. The IREP robot can ...

— In this paper, we present a controller for visual navigation, which utilizes a time-independent varying reference in the feedback law. The navigation framework relies on a mono...
Abstract— Image-based visual servo (IBVS) is a simple, efficient and robust technique for vision-based control. Although technically a local method in practice it demonstrates a...
— We introduce an optimization framework called prioritized optimization control, in which a nested sequence of objectives are optimized so as not to conflict with higher-priori...
— Future applications will bring unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) to new environments such as urban areas, causing a change in the way that UAVs are currently operated. However, U...
Abstract— Man-made real-world environments are dominated by planar surfaces many of which constitute behaviorrelevant entities. Thus, the ability to perceive planar surfaces is v...
— This paper describes a stochastic static analysis of link angle driven by actuator bundles. We first demonstrate a movement of a link driven by actuator bundles in terms of hi...
— A major barrier preventing the wide employment of mobile networks of robots in tasks such as exploration, mapping, surveillance, and environmental monitoring is the lack of ef...
