A control Lyapunov function approach to multiagent coordination
In this paper, the multiagent coordination problem is studied. This problem is addressed for a class of robots for which control Lyapunov functions can be found. The main result is...

The odometry error of a mobile robot with a synchronous drive system
This paper presents an error modeling of an odometry system for a synchronous-drive system and a possible strategy for evaluating this error. The odometry error is modeled by intro...

Visual servoing of an under-actuated dynamic rigid-body system: an image-based approach
Abstract--A new image-based control strategy for visual servoing of a class of under-actuated rigid body systems is presented. The proposed control design applies to "eye-in-h...
