— We present a new retraction algorithm for high DOF articulated models and use our algorithm to improve the performance of RRT planners in narrow passages. The retraction step i...
The assumption of real-number arithmetic, which is at the basis of conventional geometric algorithms, has been seriously challenged in recent years, since digital computers do not...
— We describe decentralized algorithms by which a swarm of simple, independent, autonomous robots can build two-dimensional structures using square building blocks. These structu...
— In the simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) problem, a mobile robot must build a map of its environment while simultaneously determining its location within that map. W...
Abstract— We present a path planning algorithm for a polyhedral robot with six degrees of freedom (6DOF) and a static obstacle. The planner consists of a dual-tree RRT algorithm ...
