This paper presents a practical two-dimensional (2D)/three-dimensional (3D) simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) algorithm using directional features for ordinary indoor environments; this algorithm is adaptable to various conditions …

Rapidly exploring Random Tree Star (RRT*) has gained popularity due to its support for complex and high-dimensional problems. Its numerous applications in path planning have made it an active area of research. Although it ensures probabilistic …

Task-parameterized skill learning aims at adaptive motion encoding to new situations. While existing approaches for task-parameterized skill learning have demonstrated good adaptation within the demonstrated region, the extrapolation problem of …

In this research, we propose an innovative robotic platform for clinical tests suitable for small- or medium-sized laboratories using small-sized multiple mobile robots and a robotic arm. The robotic platform, called “BioRobot Platform,” allows us …

A tethered viewpoint in an operator interface visualizes remote situations according to a robot’s heading direction. The tethered view, adhering to the line-of-sight requirement, results lower visual momentum when visualizing dense environments …
