Trajectory design for high-dimensional systems with nonconvex constraints is a challenging problem considered in this paper. Classical dynamic programming is often employed, but c...
This paper describes TEMPEST, a planner that enables a solar-powered rover to reason about path selection and event placement in terms of available solar energy and anticipated po...
—Recently it has been recognized that robust motion planners should take into account the varying performance of localization sensors across the configuration space. Although a n...
This paper addresses the problem of path planning for a class of deformable volumes under fairly general manipulation constraints. The underlying geometric model for the volume is...

This paper investigates controllability of underactuated rolling systems consisting of a smooth object rolling on a moving smooth surface. Our system consists of a spherical ball ...
