Robots that can adapt and perform multiple tasks promise to be a powerful tool with many applications. In order to achieve such robots, control systems have to be constructed that...
Robot motion planning in a dynamic cluttered workspace requires the capability of dealing with obstacles and deadlock situations. The paper analyzes situations where the robot is ...
