This article presents a layered control approach for real-time trajectory planning and control
of robust cooperative locomotion by two holonomically constrained quadrupedal robots. A …

A robot guide dog has compelling advantages over animal guide dogs for its cost-
effectiveness, the potential for mass production, and low maintenance burden. However …

Blind and Visually Impaired (BVI) people find challenges in navigating unfamiliar
environments, even using assistive tools such as white canes or smart devices. Increasingly …

Guidance robots that can guide people and avoid various obstacles, could potentially be
owned by more visually impaired people at a fairly low cost. Most of the previous guidance …

This paper proposes a walking aid cane robot for the elderly and visually impaired people,
which is equipped with a walking stick and force sensors in the handlebar. The cane's …

Dog guides are favored by blind and low-vision (BLV) individuals for their ability to enhance
independence and confidence by reducing safety concerns and increasing navigation …

Guide mobile robot have been researched and developed for decades. However, current
robot cannot guide the user to the destination considerately, since the status of the user and …

In this paper, we propose a formation control system for deforming and transporting
simultaneously a de-formable object with a team of robots, modeled with double-integrator …

This paper explores the principles for transforming a quadrupedal robot into a guide robot
for individuals with visual impairments. A guide robot has great potential to resolve the …

Guide dogs can vastly improve vision-impaired people's daily-life quality by guiding them to
destinations while avoiding obstacles. Animal guide dogs are costly for training. This paper …
