Obstacle Detection in Smooth High Curvature Terrain
Detection of obstacles for autonomous vehicles is more difficult when the terrain is not locally planar and remains an open problem. We have developed an approach suited for obsta...

Computing Wrench Cones for Planar Contact Tasks
The successful execution of any contact task fundamentally requires the application of wrenches (forces and moments) consistent with the task. We develop an algorithm for computin...
