An optimization variant of a problem of path planning for multiple robots is addressed in this work. The task is to find spatial-temporal path for each robot of a group of robots ...
This paper describes a robotic manipulation primitive called toppling--knocking a part over. We derive the mechanical conditions for toppling, express these as constraints on robo...
We describe the design and implementation of a socially assistive robot that is able to monitor the performance of a user during a combined mental and physical task, with the purp...
— Coalescence is the problem of isolated mobile robots independently searching for peers with the goal of forming a single connected network. This is important because communicat...
If multiple cleaning robots are used to cooperatively clean a larger room, e.g. an airport, the room must be partitioned among the robots. This paper describes a dynamic and decen...
