Avoiding obstacles in the perceived world has been the classical approach to autonomous mobile robot navigation. However, this usually leads to unnatural and inefficient motions that significantly differ from the way humans move in tight and dynamic …
This research is aimed at investigating the interaction for a bipedal humanoid robot during locomotion on deformable terrains. The knowledge of deformable terrain properties has major implications in modelling the robot walking dynamics, which is the …
This paper presents our approach to develop a method for an unmanned ground vehicle (UGV) to perform inspection tasks in nuclear environments using rich information maps. To reduce inspectors exposure to elevated radiation levels, an autonomous …
