A decomposition approach to multi-vehicle cooperative control
We use a decomposition approach to generate cooperative strategies for a class of multi-vehicle control problems. By introducing a set of tasks to be completed by the team of vehi...

Including probabilistic target detection attributes into map representations
Range measuring sensors can play an extremely important role in robot navigation. All range measuring devices rely on a ‘detection criterion’ made in the presence of noise, to...

Evolution of fuzzy behaviors for multi-robotic system
In a multi-robotic system, robots interact with each other in a dynamically changing environment. The robots need to be intelligent both at the individual and group levels. In thi...

On point-to-point motion planning for underactuated space manipulator systems
In free-floating mode, space manipulator systems have their actuators turned off, and exhibit nonholonomic behavior due to angular momentum conservation. The system is underactua...

Active estimation of distance in a robotic system that replicates human eye movement
In a moving agent, the different apparent motion of objects located at various distances provides an important source of depth information. While motion parallax is evident for la...
