— This paper presents two methods able to exploit the information at the loop closure in the SLAM problem. Both methods have three fundamental advantages. The first one is that ...
— In order to assist surgeons during surgery on moving organs, e.g. minimally invasive beating heart bypass surgery, a master-slave system which synchronizes surgical instruments...

— Hierarchical state machines have proven to be a powerful tool for controlling autonomous robots due to their flexibility and modularity. For most real robot implementations, h...
— Distributed motion planning of multiple agents raises fundamental and novel problems in control theory and robotics. Recently, one such great challenge has been the development...
— In this paper, we address the issues of compliant control of a robot under contact constraints with a goal of using joint space based pattern generators as movement primitives,...
