Currently, robotic rotorcraft determine landing zones based on visual cues or predetermined GPS waypoints. Missions such as perch-and-stare or cargo delivery demand the ability to ...
Polygon spaces like Mℓ = {(u1, · · · , un) ∈ S1 × · · · S1 ; n i=1 liui = 0}/SO(2) or they three dimensional analogues Nℓ play an important rle in geometry and topolo...
Simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) is a basic prerequisite in autonomous mobile robotics. Most existing visual SLAM approaches either assume a static environment, or sim...
We introduce a novel combinatorial optimization problem: the one-commodity traveling salesman problem with selective pickup and delivery (1-TSP-SELPD), characterized by the fact th...
This paper presents MoonWalker, a lower limb exoskeleton able to sustain part of a user's bodyweight. This orthosis can be used for rehabilitation, to help people having weak ...
