— In the last decades, tremendous progress has been made in the field of autonomous indoor navigation for mobile robots. However, these approaches assume the structural part of ...
—while dealing with sub-micrometer precision robots, thermal expansion is the most significant source of inaccuracy. Thermal variations in the environment, in the robot parts a...
— The DPC algorithm developed in our previous work is an efficient way of computing optimal trajectories for multiple robots in a distributed fashion with timeparameterized cons...
— Mobile robot tipover is a concern as it can create dangerous situations for operators and bystanders, cause collateral damage to the surrounding environment, and result in an a...

— Interaction of a robot with dynamic environments would require continuous adaptation of force and impedance, which is generally not available in current robot systems. In contr...
— Reinforcement learning (RL) algorithms have long been promising methods for enabling an autonomous robot to improve its behavior on sequential decision-making tasks. The obviou...
— Aerial robots are often required to remain within the communication range of a base station on the ground to exchange commands, sensor data or as a safety mechanism. For this...
— Using graph theory, this paper investigates how a group of robots, endowed with local positioning (range and bearing from other robots), can be engaged in a leaderfollowing mis...
Abstract— For path planning algorithms of robots it is important that the robot does not reach a state of inevitable collision. In crowded environments with many humans or robots...
