The aim of this paper is to provide a global overview of mobile robot control and navigation
methodologies developed over the last decades. Mobile robots have been a substantial …

This paper presents a shared control approach for motion compensation in robotic beating
heart surgery. Motion compensation consists of three main tasks; motion synchronization …

Previous legged robots use single or multi-microcontroller systems to control their motions.
This work is a complete robot control system, implemented as a Multi-Processor System-on …

In this work, a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA)-based embedded software platform
coupled with a software-based plant, forming a Hardware-In-the-Loop (HIL), is used to …

This work presents a field programmable gate array (FPGA)-based embedded software
platform coupled with a softwarebased plant, forming a hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) that is …

Motion compensation is a prominent application in robotic beating heart surgery, with
significant potential benefits for both surgeons and patients. In this paper we investigate an …

This paper presents a Hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) approach on a Field Programmable Gate
Array (denoted as FPGA-in-the-loop and abbreviated as FIL) for the optimised sensor …

We present a feedback equivalence transformation for the Dubins airplane model, which
maps a monotone reference curve in space, to a straight line. This enables one to reduce …

One of the key aspects of smart manufacturing is the adoption of autonomous intelligent
robots that are capable of self-navigating throughout the vicinity of factory without constant …

This paper proposes a novel technique for applying virtual fixtures in a changing
environment. The main targeted application is robotic beating heart surgery, which enables …
