Amphibious robots are becoming increasingly important for civilian,scientific,and environmental missions.They are widely used in disaster rescue,ecosystem monitoring,and entertainment.However,some have two different l...
The use of robotics in the electronics industry has been of great importance to raise productivity and quality levels.When compared to the classic industrial robots,the collaborative ones present themselves as a trend...
Space robotics are the development of general purpose machines that is capable of surviving (for a time, at least) in the rigors of the space environment, and performing exploration, assembly, construction, maintenanc...
We present a method to improve the execution time used to build the roadmap in probabilistic roadmap planners. Our method intelligently deactivates some of the configurations during the learning phase and allows the p...
Collision-free path planning for an industrtal robot in configuration space requires mapping obstacles from robot's workspace into its configuration space. In this paper ,an approach to real-time collision-free path p...
