In this paper, we propose a new method for path planning to a point for robot in environment with obstacles. The resulting algorithm is implemented as a simple variation of Dijkstra's algorithm. By adding a constraint to the shortest-path,…
Robots are man made machines which are used to accomplish the tasks. Robots are mainly used to do complex tasks and work in hazardous environment where humans are difficult to work. They are not only designed to use in hazardous environment…
As robots are increasingly deployed in real-world scenarios, a key question is how to best transfer knowledge learned in one environment to another, where shifting constraints and human preferences render adaptation challenging. A central…
Mobile robot navigation is typically regarded as a geometric problem, in which the robot's objective is to perceive the geometry of the environment in order to plan collision-free paths towards a desired goal. However, a purely geometric…
To solve its task, a robot needs to have the ability to interpret its perceptions. In vision, this interpretation is particularly difficult and relies on the understanding of the structure of the scene, at least to the extent of its task…
Robot swarms can effectively serve a variety of sensing and inspection applications. Certain inspection tasks require a binary classification decision. This work presents an experimental setup for a surface inspection task based on…
We present an algorithm to solve the problem of locating the source, or maxima, of a scalar field using a robot swarm. We demonstrate how the robot swarm determines its direction of movement to approach the source using only field intensity…
Most conventional wheeled robots can only move in flat environments and simply divide their planar workspaces into free spaces and obstacles. Deeming obstacles as non-traversable significantly limits wheeled robots' mobility in real-world,…
