A key component of a mobile robot system is the ability to localize itself accurately and, simultaneously, to build a map of the environment. Most of the existing algorithms are b...
We study the simultaneous control of three dimensional translation and rotation of an underactuated multibody space robot using sliding masses that are configured as ideal prismat...
In this paper we describe a new technique for the creation of featurebased stochastic maps using standard Polaroid sonar sensors. The fundamental contributions of our proposal are...
We study the path planning problem, without obstacles, for closed kinematic chains with n links connected by spherical joints in space or revolute joints in the plane. The configu...
A new parallel-type gripper mechanism is proposed in this work. This device has a parallelogramic platform that can be flexibly folded. Therefore, this mechanism not only can be u...
