— Control of wheeled vehicles is a difficult problem due to nonholonomic constraints. This problem is compounded by sensor limitations. A previously developed control scheme for...
– This paper describes a fusion of panoramic vision and laser range data to track multiple persons simultaneously from a stationary robot. Particle filters are used to track peop...
ct This paper presents the author’s view on the main challenges for autonomous operation in surface mining environment. A brief overview of the mine operation is presented showin...
Abstract. The task addressed here is a dynamic search through a bounded region, while avoiding multiple large obstacles, such as buildings. In the case of limited sensors and commu...

We propose a systematic modelling of the nonholonomic mobile manipulators built from a robotic arm mounted on a wheeled mobile platform. It extends the fundamental notions of nonh...
