Researchers have been spending a lot of effort in increasing the level of autonomy of
Unmanned Aerial Systems (UASs). There is a sort of important scenarios where an …

The Twistcar vehicle is a classic example of a nonholonomic dynamical system. The vehicle
model consists of two rigid links connected by an actuated rotary joint and supported by …

In real applications, mobile robots are usually controlled to reach a “pose set” rather than a
specific point to achieve mobile manipulation tasks. Motivated by this observation, this paper …

We discuss a novel object-based locking (OBL) protocol to lock replicated objects by
extending the traditional quorum-based protocols to objects with abstract methods. If a pair …

The Dubins Touring Problem (DTP) stands to find the shortest curvature-constrained multi-
goal path connecting a prescribed sequence of locations. The problem is to determine the …

The kinematic approximation of Dubin's Vehicle has been largely exploited in the
formulation of various motion planning methods. In the majority of these methods, planning …

Bladed tools such as jigsaws are common tools for wood workers on job-sites and in
workshops, but do not currently have sufficient autonomous hardware or path planning …

With the advancement of technology and its cheapness, robotic vehicles have gained a
large number of applications. The spread of their use is growing also because they are …

Abstract Continuous GRASP, or C-GRASP, extends GRASP to the domain of continuous box-
constrained global optimization. The algorithm searches the solution space over a dynamic …

Autonomous underwater vehicles have become a popular countermeasure to naval mines.
Saab's AUV62-MR detects, locates and identifies mine-like objects through three phases. By …
