— Visual localization and mapping for mobile robots has been achieved with a large variety of methods. Among them, topological navigation using vision has the advantage of offeri...
Abstract— The most widely applied resource allocation strategy is to balance, or equalize, the total workload assigned to each resource. In mobile multi-agent systems, this princ...

— We present an investigation of specialization when considering the execution of collaborative tasks by a robot swarm. Specifically, we consider the stick-pulling problem firs...
Abstract— The paper deals with computing frictional forceclosure grasps of 3D objects problem. The key idea of the presented work is the demonstration that wrenches associated to...
Abstract— In this paper we describe an algorithm to compute cycle constraints that can be used in many graph-based SLAM algorithms; we exemplify it in Hierarchical SLAM. Our algo...
