This paper introduces a generalized framework, termed “stochastic cloning,” for processing relative state measurements within a Kalman filter estimator. The main motivation a...
Numerous upcoming NASA misions need to land safely and precisely on planetary bodies. Accurate and robust state estimation during the descent phase is necessary. Towards this end,...

An omnidirectional platform with an Active Offset Split Caster (ASOC) is described and its ability to operate on non-ideal floors is studied. It is shown that all of its driven wh...
Visual servoing requires an object in the field of view of the camera, in order to control the robot evolution. Otherwise, the virtual link is broken and the control loop cannot c...
