Backstepping is a control technique based on Lyapunov's theory that has been successfully
implemented in the control of motors and robots by several nonlinear methods. However …

One of the challenging problems in mobile robotics is mapping a dynamic environment for
navigating robots. In order to disambiguate multiple moving obstacles, state-of-art …

In this research, a novel navigation algorithm for self-driving vehicles that avoids collisions
with pedestrians and ad hoc obstacles is described. The proposed algorithm predicts the …

Freight Urban RoBOTic vehicle (FURBOT) is a complete drive-by-wire vehicle expected to
perform autonomously in an urban setting. This upgrading has raised issues that need to be …

With the emergence of vehicle-communication technologies, many researchers have
strongly focused their interest in vehicle energy-efficiency control using this connectivity. For …

One of the technologies widely considered to be the most promising for reducing a number
of traffic-related problems, including traffic jams, safety within and outside of cities, among …

The current paper presents an upgrade of a pre-installed hydraulic system for the operation
of a pallet handling robot for a freight delivery vehicle known as FURBOT (freight urban …

This paper focuses on autonomous navigation for an electric freight vehicle designed to
collect freight autonomously using pallet handling robots installed in the vehicle. Apart from …

Formation obstacle avoidance is a critical aspect of cooperation among unmanned surface
vehicles (USVs). In practical scenarios involving multiple USVs, managing obstacle …

Extreme environments, like the steep olive groves in Liguria, Italy, cannot be reached by
tractors and large-sized devices. This paper describes a small, tracked elevation platform …
