— We study a path planning problem which arises when multiple robots are used to gather data from stationary devices with wireless communication capabilities. Each device has a g...
— The ability of mobile robots to generate feasible trajectories online is an important requirement for their autonomous operation in unstructured environments. Many path generat...
— The semantic robots of the immediate future are robots that will be able to find and recognize objects in any environment. They need the capability of segmenting objects in th...

— Humanoid robots and robotic manipulators with good dexterity are promising to enhance the factory productivity in next generation. Dexterity of robotic manipulators can be achi...
—This study attempts to make a compact humanoid robot acquire a giant-swing motion without any robotic models by using reinforcement learning; only the interaction with environme...
— Legged robots offer the potential to navigate highly challenging terrain, and there has recently been much progress in this area. However, a great deal of this recent work has ...
Abstract— In general, a mobile robot that operates in unknown environments has to maintain a map and has to determine its own location given the map. This introduces significant...
—In this paper, the design, analysis, and development of a sixteen-legged palm-sized climbing robot using flat bulk tacky elastomer adhesives as an attachment method is presente...
— An autonomous robot system that is to act in a real-world environment is faced with the problem of having to deal with a high degree of both complexity as well as uncertainty. ...
