— This paper presents a new method for reactive collision avoidance for mobile robots in complex and cluttered environments. Our technique is to adapt the “divide and conquer...
— For humanoid robots that should assist humans in their daily life the capability of an adequate interaction with human operators is a key feature. A key factor for human like i...
Abstract— Designing effective behavioral controllers for mobile robots can be difficult and tedious; this process can be circumvented by using unsupervised learning techniques w...
— We introduce a method for constructing provably safe smooth feedback laws for car-like robots in obstaclecluttered polygonal environments. The robot is taken to be a point with...
— Restoring mechanical energy lost by heel-strike collisions is necessary for stable gait generation. One principle to realize this is parametric excitation. Recently, Asano et a...
