— Autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) are an indispensable tool for marine scientists to study the world’s oceans. The Slocum glider is a buoyancy driven AUV designed for mis...
—we investigated whether flapping flight has an inherent stability by analyzing the inertial and aerodynamic effects of flapping wings on body dynamics. Based on wing and body ki...

Distributed real-time embedded systems have stringent requirements for key performance properties, such as endto-end timeliness and reliability, in order to operate properly. In r...
— Nonholonomic mobile robots are characterized by no-slip constraints. However, in many practical situations, slips are inevitable. In this work, we develop a theoretical and sys...
— In this paper we address the problem of generating input plans to steer complex dynamical systems in an obstaclefree environment. Plans considered admit a finite description l...
