Featured Application This work aims to review the use of ROS2 as middleware to integrate
heterogeneous hardware and software components in order to enable fixed-base robots to …

A significant challenge in human–robot collaboration (HRC) is coordinating robot and
human motions. Discoordination can lead to production delays and human discomfort. Prior …

Abstract We consider a Multi-Agent Path Finding (MAPF) setting where agents have been
assigned a plan, but during its execution some agents are delayed. Instead of replanning …

With the spread of robots in unstructured, dynamic environments, the topic of path
replanning has gained importance in the robotics community. Although the number of …

The advent of autonomous mobile robots has spurred research into efficient trajectory
planning methods, particularly in dynamic environments with varied obstacles. This study …

This paper addresses human-robot collaboration (HRC) challenges of integrating
predictions of human activity to provide a proactive-n-reactive response capability for the …

This work introduces the adaptive version of the vector field histogram plus (VFH+) motion
planning algorithm, which is designed for unmanned aerial vehicles, particularly …

Robotic manipulation relies on analytical or learned models to simulate the system
dynamics. These models are often inaccurate and based on offline information, so that the …

The path planning problem of complex wild environment with multiple elements still poses
challenges. This paper designs an algorithm that integrates global and local planning to …

Modern hybrid robot cells leverage heterogeneous agents to provide agile production
solutions. Effective agent coordination is crucial to avoid inefficiencies and potential hazards …
