— We investigate a technique that uses an embedded network deployed pervasively throughout an environment to aid robots in navigation. First, we show that the path computed by th...

This paper addresses the problem of path planning for a class of deformable volumes under fairly general manipulation constraints. The underlying geometric model for the volume is...

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...

In this work, a Modified Vector Field Histogram (MVFH) has been developed to improve path planning and obstacle avoidance for a wheeled driven mobile robot. It permits the detecti...
Visual sensors provide exclusively uncertain and partial knowledge of a scene. In this article, we present a suitable scene knowledge representation that makes integration and fusi...
