This paper investigates controllability of underactuated rolling systems consisting of a smooth object rolling on a moving smooth surface. Our system consists of a spherical ball ...
Discrete optimization problemsarise throughout many real world domainsincluding planning, decision making, and search. NP-hardin general, these problems require novel approachesto...
Active cameras provide a mobile robot with the capability to fixate and track features over a wide field of view. However, their use emphasises serial attention focussing on a succ...
This paper describes the foundations and algorithms of a new probabilistic roadmap (PRM) planner that is: (1) singlequery –i.e., it does not pre-compute a roadmap, but uses the ...
In this paper, we describe the development of our BEST nano-robot soccer team composed of 5 robots, a vision system, and communication modules. Each nano-robot is designed with an...
