— As mobile robots become increasingly autonomous over extended periods of time, opportunities arise for their use on repetitive tasks. We define and implement behaviors for a c...
— Planetary surface exploration rovers must accurately and efficiently predict their mobility on natural, rough terrain. Most approaches to mobility prediction assume precise a p...
— Many surgical robots use cable-conduit pairs in a pull-pull configuration to actuate the instruments and transmit power into the patient’s body. Friction between the cable an...
Industrial inspection robots, which are to move around a nuclear power plant and carry out inspection tasks, must follow a given route while observing static and dynamic features ...
We address the problem of navigating from an initial node to a goal node by a group of agents in an unknown physical environment. In such environments mobile agents must physicall...
