Mobile robots did not wait to know that they were nonholonomic to plan and execute their
motions autonomously. It is interesting to notice that the first navigation systems have been …

Planning algorithms are impacting technical disciplines and industries around the world,
including robotics, computer-aided design, manufacturing, computer graphics, aerospace …

This paper presents the first randomized approach to kinodynamic planning (also known as
trajectory planning or trajectory design). The task is to determine control inputs to drive a …

Minimally invasive neurosurgery does not require large incisions and openings in the skull
to access the desired brain region, which often results in a faster recovery with fewer …

Robotic and mechatronic systems, autonomous vehicles, electric power systems and smart
grids, as well as manufacturing and industrial production systems can exhibit complex …

In this paper, the mobility matrix of helical microswimmers is investigated to compute the
magnetic torque as a function of the angular velocities of the helical robot to achieve a 3D …

Underwater vehicles present some difficult and very particular control system design
problems. These are often the result of nonlinear dynamics and uncertain models, as well as …

This paper examines the kinematic model of an autonomous mobile robot system consisting
of a chain of steerable cars and passive trailers, linked together with rigid bars. The state …
