Simultaneous planning and control of a large variety of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) is
tackled using the harmonic potential field (HPF) approach. A dense reference velocity field …

This paper extends the capabilities of the harmonic potential field (HPF) approach to
planning. The extension covers the situation where the workspace of a robot cannot be …

Network controllers (NCs) are devices that are capable of converting dynamic, spatially
extended, and functionally specialized modules into a taskable goal-oriented group called …

The control performance of wireless networked control systems is a complex function of
control system parameters such as control algorithms, controller gains, sampling period and …

This paper extends the capabilities of the harmonic potential field approach to planning to
cover the situation where the workspace of a robot cannot be segmented into geometrical …

The continuous advancements in programmable device technologies enable the
widespread use of FPGAs in an increasing number of industrial applications. The availability …

This paper tackles motion planning in a cluttered environment with a workspace containing
a vector drift field that provides an external influence on the ability of an agent to alter its …

The objective of this work is to develop a practical, closed-loop and simple navigation
controller that suits a large variety of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). The method …

We propose a novel method to the navigation of mobile robots that combines a modified
potential field method with a boundary-following algorithm. The resulting method avoids …

Utility and meaning in the behavior of an agent are highly contingent on the agent's ability to
semantically embed its actions in the context of its environment. Such an ability is cloned …
