Complexity bounds for algorithms for robotic motion and manipulation can be misleading when they are constructed with pathological `worst-case' scenarios that rarely appear i...
We present motion planning for dexterous manipulation by whole arm grasp system based on switching contact modes. Motion planning for such a system should consider changing dynami...
While most previous work in planning manipulation tasks relies on the assumption of quasi-static conditions, there can be situations where the quasi-static assumption may not hold...
This paper is concerned with on-line problems where a mobile robot of size D has to achieve a task in an unknown planar environment whose geometry is acquired by the robot during ...
In this paper, we address the issue of motion planning for a bipartite class of modular self-reconfiguring robotic system (I-Cubes) that is a collection of active elements providin...
