— We investigate the problem of a robot maximizing its long-term average rate of return on work. We present a means to obtain an estimate of the instantaneous rate of return when...
—Path tracking control on non-flat terrain is an important capability of mobile robots operating in outdoor environments. A path tracking controller based on the model predictive...
— This paper introduces a new analytical algorithm to perform the localization of a mobile robot using odometry and laser readings. Based on a polynomial approach, the proposed a...

— This paper considers the problem of stabilizing a unicycle-type mobile robot using a time-invariant, discontinuous control law. In order to simplify the control design, most pr...
We examine the practical problem of a mobile autonomous robot performing a long-duration survey task, during which it must recharge its batteries periodically. We present a scalabl...
