چکیده
| New reactive behaviors that implement formations in multi-robot teams are presented and evaluated. The formation behaviors are integrated with other navi-gational behaviors to enable a robotic team to reach nav-igational goals, avoid hazards and simultaneously remain in formation. The behaviors are implemented in simulation , on robots in the laboratory and aboard DARPA's HMMWV-based Unmanned Ground Vehicles. The technique has been integrated with the Autonomous Robot Architecture (AuRA) and the UGV Demo II architecture. The results demonstrate the value of various types of formations in autonomous, human-led and communications-restricted applications, and their appropriateness in diierent types of task environments.

Manipulability, force, and compliance analysis for planar continuum manipulators
Continuum manipulators, inspired by the natural capabilities of elephant trunks and octopus tentacles, may find niche applications in areas like human-robot interaction, multiarm manipulation, and unknown environment exploration. However, their true capabilities will remain largely inaccessible without proper analytical tools to evaluate their unique properties. Ellipsoids have long served as o...
متن کاملVisual servoing via navigation functions
This technical report presents a framework for visual servoing that guarantees convergence to a visible goal from most initially visible configurations while maintaining full view of all the feature points along the way. The method applies to first and second order fully actuated plant models. The solution entails three components: a model for the “occlusion-free” workspace; a change of coordin...

| This paper presents hybrid control schemes which are used for practical stabilization of a diierentially driven mobile robot. The control schemes are shown to have desirable characteristics for a regulation scheme, i.e., have gains which are easy to tune, correspond to the physical geometry, and address the eeects of sensor noise. By taking into account the geometry and dynamics of the proble...
