Navigating mobile robots along time-efficient and collision-free paths in crowds is still an
open and challenging problem. The key is to build a profound understanding of the crowd …

With the service robots are well used in more and more indoor environments, autonomous
navigation in such a human environment has been explored in recent decades. Different …

Autonomous pedestrian-aware navigation in shared human-robot environments is a
challenging problem. Here we consider a common situation in which a large crowd of …

The rapidly-exploring random tree (RRT) algorithm can quickly complete the task of path
planning through random sampling. However, only part of the cost is considered in the …

Many algorithms have been developed based on the Rapidly-exploring Random Tree
(RRT). Among them, the Informed-RRT* stands out, because it aims to sample only a …

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to address two major challenges faced by robotic fish
when operating in underwater environments: insufficient path planning capabilities and …

Controlling robot formations represents one of the biggest open challenges for the Robotics
Community. Its importance is remarked in a wide range of applications from truck platooning …

Traditional robot navigation approaches normally rely on creating a precise map of the
environment which is a computationally expensive procedure and highly depends on an …

In recent years, technological advances have allowed robots to become a part of our
everyday lives. The integration of such robots in human-populated environments presents …

This article discusses the organization of inter-modular information interaction in a mobile
robot with a hierarchical architecture of the control system. The use of the principle of the full …
