—Recently it has been recognized that robust motion planners should take into account the varying performance of localization sensors across the configuration space. Although a n...
This paper investigates controllability of underactuated rolling systems consisting of a smooth object rolling on a moving smooth surface. Our system consists of a spherical ball ...
Grasping a curved object free in the plane may be done through rolling a pair of fingers on the object’s boundary. Each finger is equipped with a tactile sensor able to record...
We present techniques for fast motion planning by using discrete approximations of generalized Voronoi diagrams, computed with graphics hardware. Approaches based on this diagram ...

This paper deals with the problem of determining the position and orientation of an autonomous guided vehicle (AGV) by fusing odometry with the information provided by a vision sys...
