Abstract: We present a composite forward model of the mechanics of an excavator backhoe digging in soil. This model is used to predict the trajectories developed by a closed-loop f...
In large content-based image database applications, e cient information retrieval depends heavily on good indexing structures of the extracted features. While indexing techniques f...
Most of the obstacle avoidance techniques do not consider the robot orientation or its nal angle at the target position. These techniques deal with the robot position only and are ...
We present a simple approach for planning the motion of nonholonomic robots among obstacles. Existing methods lead to open-loop solutions which are either obtained in two stages, ...
Abstract. We present a new reinforcement learning approach for deterministic continuous control problems in environments with unknown, arbitrary reward functions. The difficulty of...
