NSF and NASA sponsored a workshop to discuss harvesting solar power in space. One solution considered was the use of a swarm of robots to form a solar reflector. How can these rob...
: The single wheel, gyroscopically stabilized robot - Gyrover, is a dynamically stable but statically unstable, underactuated system. In this paper, based on the dynamic model of t...
— In this paper, we present a controller for visual navigation, which utilizes a time-independent varying reference in the feedback law. The navigation framework relies on a mono...
Abstract— In this paper, we formalize the problem of barrier coverage, that is, the problem of preventing undetected intrusion in a particular region using robot sensors. We solv...
Abstract— We provide a method for planning under uncertainty for robotic manipulation by partitioning the configuration space into a set of regions that are closed under complia...
