— This paper addresses the problem of simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) by a mobile robot. The SLAM problem is defined as a global optimization problem in which the o...
An account of lower and upper integration is given. It is constructive in the sense of geometric logic. If the integrand takes its values in the nonnegative lower reals, then its ...
This paper explores the concept of locality in proofs of global safety properties of asynchronously composed, multi-process programs. Model checking on the full state space is ofte...
Abstract— We incorporate sampling-based global path planning with Visual Servoing (VS) for a robotic arm equipped with an in-hand camera. The path planning accounts for a number ...
In this paper, we propose new dominance relations that can speed up significantly the solution process of nonlinear constrained dynamic optimization problems in discrete time and...
