— This paper addresses a method to optimize the robot motion planning in dynamic environments, avoiding the moving and static obstacles while the robot drives towards the goal. T...
— We present a probabilistic architecture for solving generically the problem of extracting the task constraints through a Programming by Demonstration (PbD) framework and for ge...
Endoscopic surgery, while offering considerable gains for the patient, has created new difficulties for the surgeon. One problem is the fulcrum effect, which causes the movement o...
— We present a new approach to path planning for flexible wires. We introduce a method for computing stable configurations of a wire subject to manipulation constraints. These ...
