Abstract Assistive mobile robots that autonomously manipulate objects within everyday settings have the potential to improve the lives of the elderly, injured, and disabled. Within...
We present PocketDRAGON, a demonstrator prototype that allows direct manipulation video navigation on mobile touchscreen devices. In contrast to traditional video navigation techn...
We present a hierarchical planning system and its application to robotic manipulation. The novel features of the system are: 1) it finds high-quality kinematic solutions to task-l...
— In this paper we consider cooperative manipulation problems where a large group (swarm) of non-articulated mobile robots is trying to cooperatively control the velocity of some...
— Most mobile robots in existence today have large, heavy, statically stable bases. To enable manipulation, actuated arms and effectors are attached to the base providing limited...
