— We consider a collection of robots sharing a common environment, each robot constrained to move on a roadmap in its configuration space. To program optimal collision-free moti...
Abstract—We present a distributed connectivity service that allows agents in a mobile ad-hoc network to move while preserving connectivity. This allows unmodified motion plannin...
— This paper describes a test-bed for planar micro manipulation tasks and a framework for planning based on quasistatic models of mechanical systems with frictional contacts. We ...

— Classical path planning does not address many of the challenges of robotic systems subject to differential constraints. While there have been many recent efforts to develop mot...
Maintainability is an important issue in design where the accessibility of certain parts is determined for routine maintenance. In the past its study has been largely manual and l...
