Visual sensing of continuum robot shape using self-organizing maps
— Shape control of continuum robots requires a means of sensing the the curved shape of the robot. Since continuum robots are deformable, they take on shapes that are general cur...

Direct Mapping of Visual Input to Motor Torques
Most methods for visual control of robots formulate the robot command in joint or Cartesian space. To move the robot these commands are remapped to motor torques usually requiring...

Path Planning for Permutation-Invariant Multi-Robot Formations
— In this paper we demonstrate path planning for our formation space that represents permutation-invariant multirobot formations. Earlier methods generally pre-assign roles for e...
