— We present an algorithm that probabilistically covers a bounded region of the state space of a nonlinear system with a sparse tree of feedback stabilized trajectories leading t...
Dynamic programming provides a methodology to develop planners and controllers for nonlinear systems. However, general dynamic programming is computationally intractable. We have ...
— We explore the control synthesis problem for a robot dynamically manipulating an object in the presence of multiple frictional contacts. Contacts occur both between the object ...

— We introduce a method for constructing provably safe smooth feedback laws for car-like robots in obstaclecluttered polygonal environments. The robot is taken to be a point with...
This paper describes the development of an expert casebased character director system which dynamically generates and controls a story, which is played out in a multiplayer networ...
