Together with the trends of mass personalization, flexible robotic applications become more
and more popular. Although conventional robotic automation of workpiece manipulation …

Building and Construction have recently become an exciting application ground for robotics.
In particular, rapid progress in material formulation and in robotics technology has made …

Mobile robots for 3D printing applications are ready to transition from factory floors to
building sites. Their remarkable flexibility and adaptability support a variety of deposition …

Industrial robots are programmed to repeat a sequence of well-defined tasks, eg deburring,
cutting and welding. The production cycle time is directly influenced by the task order as well …

Trajectory optimization for motion planning requires good initial guesses to obtain good
performance. In our proposed approach, we build a memory of motion based on a database …

This letter proposes a bionic robot controller equipped with intelligent perception and
autonomous planning modules to address the manufacturing industry's requirements for …

In this paper, we propose SCALAR, a calibration method to simultaneously calibrate the
kinematic parameters of a 6-DoF robot and the extrinsic parameters of a 2-D laser range …

In this paper, we study the Generalized Traveling Salesman Problem with Neighborhoods
(GTSPN), a variant of the Traveling Salesman Problem (TSP), where the goal is to find the …

Task sequencing problems arise in many different forms in various robotic applications. The
task sequence can be subject to different constraints, and various cost functions can be used …

In this paper, we explore the problem of task-consistent path planning for printing-in-motion
via Mobile Manipulators (MM). MM offer a potentially unlimited planar workspace and …
