A hierarchical behavior-based approach to manipulation tasks
Typical mobile robots can be customized to perform a variety of different tasks by combining in different ways a set of basic control modules, or behaviors. By contrast, most cu...

Avoiding unsafe states in manufacturing systems based on polynomial digraph algorithms
Abstract − A deadlock-free unsafe (DFU) state of Resource Allocation System (RAS) is deadlock-free but inevitable to enter a deadlock state. Previous research revealed that in ma...
