Intelligent vehicles have improved their highly and fully automated driving capacities in the
last years. Most of the developments are driven by the fast evolution of embedded systems …

Currently, the increase of transport demands along with the limited capacity of the road
network have increased traffic congestion in urban and highway scenarios. Technologies …

Automated Driving Systems (ADS) have received a considerable amount of attention in the
last few decades, as part of the Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) field. However, this …

As autonomous mobile robots are progressively utilized for appropriated missions, a
significant issue that should be tackled is the autonomous recharging problem. The robots …

The use of autonomous underwater vehicles is often hampered by stringent power
constraints that limit the duration of their deployment. Here, we present a novel autonomous …

We present a novel approach to vision-based localization of electric city buses for assisted
docking to a charging station. The method assumes that the charging station is a known …

Auto-recharging system is one of an interesting progress in the field of autonomous robot.
This paper describes the design and implementation of a new docking strategy and a new …

High-precision pose adjustment for the self-charging of mobile robots remains a significant
challenge. Permanent magnet (PM)-based magnetic tracking technique is a promising …

This paper deals with establishing of the electrical connection between a plug and a
receptacle by a robot manipulator for the purpose of charging electrical vehicles. In general …

The freight transportation is defined as the process of carrying goods and persons from one
given point to another. Recently, urban freight transportations have been used as an …
