We suggest that planning for automated earthmoving operations such as digging a foundation or leveling a mound of soil, be treated at multiple levels. In a system that we have dev...
This paper describes a prototype and analytical studies of a spherical rolling robot, a new design of a nonholonomic system. The spherical robot is driven by two remotely controll...
In this paper, a neuro-fuzzy algorithm has been implemented to improve the path planning of a mobile robot based on modification of vector field histogram (VFH) approach using neu...
