— An active cannula is a medical device composed of thin, pre-curved, telescoping tubes that may enable many new surgical procedures. Planning optimal motions for these devices i...
— The success of sampling-based motion planners has resulted in a plethora of methods for improving planning components, such as sampling and connection strategies, local planner...
Mobile robots equipped with wireless networking capabilities can act as robotic routers and provide network connectivity to mobile users. Robotic routers provide cost efficient so...
In this paper we propose a suite of techniques for planning with temporally extended preferences (TEPs). To this end, we propose a method for compiling TEP planning problems into ...
