Abstract— Crawler mechanisms have the advantage of stable navigation on uneven terrain; as a result, such mechanisms have been adopted for many types of locomotion of outdoor rob...
—In this paper we propose the progressive clamping method to better model the kinematic anisotropy of joint limits for virtual mannequins or robots. Like recent approaches our me...
— The polychaete annelid marine worms propel themselves in a variety of challenging locomotion environments by a unique form of tail-to-head body undulations, combined with the s...

— Skid-steered mobile robots have been widely used for terrain exploration and navigation. In this paper, we present an adaptive trajectory control design for a skid-steered whee...
— This paper describes a new extension to the Rapidly–exploring Random Tree (RRT) path planning algorithm. The Particle RRT algorithm explicitly considers uncertainty in its do...
