— Mobile robots operating in populated environments typically can improve their service and navigation behavior when they know where people are in their vicinity and in which dir...
A Riemannian-geometry approach for control and stabilization of dynamics of object manipulation under holonomic or non-holonomic (but Pfaffian) constraints is presented. First, pos...
— A shell is a body enclosed between two closely spaced and curved surfaces. Classical theory of shells [38], [33], [16] assumes a parametrization along the lines of principal cu...
— This paper proposes a piercing based grasping by using the self-tightening effect of objects with elasticity. We suppose a piercing hand with palm where the piercing motion by ...
— This paper introduces a sensor-based planning algorithm that uses less sensing information than any others within the family of bug algorithms. The robot is unable to access pr...
