Nonholonomic Modeling of Needle Steering
As a flexible needle with a bevel tip is pushed through soft tissue, the asymmetry of the tip causes the needle to bend. We propose that, by using nonholonomic kinematics, contro...

Synthesis and Analysis of Non-Reactive Controllers for Multi-Robot Sequential Task Domains
In this paper we present a macroscopic model for the analysis of homogeneous task-directed multi-robot systems (MRS). The model is used to compute the probability that a given MRS ...
