— A critical assumption of many multi-view control systems is the initial visibility of the regions of interest from all the views. An initialization step is proposed for a hybri...
Abstract— We provide a method for planning under uncertainty for robotic manipulation by partitioning the configuration space into a set of regions that are closed under complia...
— We introduce a robotic prototype of an arm with a loosely coupled joint, modeled on the human joint. A viscoelastic object functions as cartilage and soft actuators as muscles....
This paper presents a thorough evaluation of grid map based sensor fusion algorithms for mapping the environment of a mobile robot. Three physical sensors were used for creating t...
— We explore the use of computational optimal control techniques for automated construction of policies in complex dynamic environments. Our implementation of dynamic programming...
