Mobile robots are increasingly deployed in applications ranging from household cleaning to hazardous industrial inspection, ...

Abstract: Real-world optimization problems are becoming increasingly complex and require effective and versatile algorithms to provide reliable solutions. However, the no-free-lunch theorem indicates ...

Abstract: This paper presents a modified version of the RRT* motion planning algorithm, which limits the memory required for storing the tree. We run the RRT* algorithm until the tree has grown to a ...

Teaching robots to manipulate objects with humanlike dexterity has long been one of robotics' toughest challenges. Tasks such as rotating an object in-hand or coordinating two robot arms to maneuver a ...
