— We present a novel approach to legged locomotion over rough terrain that is thoroughly rooted in optimization. This approach relies on a hierarchy of fast, anytime algorithms t...

Abstract. The connectivity of the con guration space has been a valuable concept in the motion planning for single robots in both known and unknown terrains. We show here that n-co...
Mapping opaque and confined environments such as caves and pipes is a challenging problem for mobile robots because sensor information is severely limited to the immediate proximit...
ior-based robots, planning is necessary to elaborate abstract plans that resolve complex navigational tasks. Usually maps of the environment are used to plan the robot motion and t...
: Locomotion and navigation of a surface walking/climbing robot – Planar Walker, based on a novel planar 8-bar mechanism are studied. The robot moves on a surface through decoupl...
