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...
An issue that is critical for the application of Markov decision processes MDPs to realistic problems is how the complexity of planning scales with the size of the MDP. In stochas...
Abstract— Trajectory generation and control of large equipment in open field environments involves systematically and robustly operating in uncertain and dynamic terrain. This p...

Abstract— This work addresses mission planning for autonomous underwater gliders based on predictions of an uncertain, time-varying current eld. Glider submersibles are highly se...

Abstract— Computing a motion that enables a mobile manipulator to open a door is challenging because it requires tight coordination between the motions of the arm and the base. H...
