—One of the grand challenges of self-reconfiguring modular robotics is the assembly of a functional system from thousands of components. However, to date, only systems comprised ...
Abstract: This paper considers the global exponential stability of planar distributed manipulation control schemes. The “programmable vector field” approach is a commonly prop...
— This paper addresses the problem of efficiently computing robot navigation functions. Navigation functions are potential functions free of spurious local minima that present a...

Abstract. Many multi-robot systems are heterogeneous cooperative systems, systems consisting of different species of robots cooperating with each other to achieve a common goal. T...
— This paper presents a general approach to specify and execute complex robot tasks considering uncertain environments. Robot tasks are defined by a precise definition of socal...
