—This paper introduces a simple algorithm for non-prehensile object transportation by a pushing robot on a flat surface. We assume that the global position and orientation of the...
Many theorems involving special functions such as ln, exp and sin can be proved automatically by MetiTarski: a resolution theorem prover modified to call a decision procedure for ...
Abstract In this paper we address whole-body manipulation of bulky objects by a humanoid robot. We adopt a "pivoting" manipulation method that allows the humanoid to disp...
Convergence is often the key liveness property for distributed systems that interact with physical processes. Techniques for proving convergence (asymptotic stability) have been ex...
This paper considers constraint propagation methods for continuous constraint satisfaction problems consisting of linear and quadratic constraints. All methods can be applied after...
