Increasing the level of automation in material handling tasks in small volume production
operations can improve human productivity and overall manufacturing system performance …

To minimize the operation time, mobile manipulators need to pick-up parts while the mobile
base and the gripper are moving. The gripper speed needs to be selected to ensure that the …

We present an approach to generate path-constrained synchronous motion for the coupled
ensemble of robots. In this article, we refer to serial-link manipulators and mobile bases as …

The ShapeBench evaluation methodology is proposed as an extension to the popular Area
Under Precision-Recall Curve (PRC/AUC) for measuring the matching performance of local …

In many manufacturing applications, robotic manipulators need to operate in cluttered
environments. Quickly finding high-quality paths is very important in applications that require …
