This paper presents a novel coordinated motion planning method for solving the inverse kinematic problems of endoscopic operations of continuum manipulators. For safe and stable control of the continuum manipulators in complex constrained …

This paper presents an optimum harvesting area of a convex and concave polygon for the path planning of a robot combine harvester. A convenient optimum harvesting area for a convex and concave polygon is proposed. The notion is that path planning …

The human hand provides excellent grasp capabilities by using the interaction of the thumb and other fingers, and thus, how to dextrously interact with each other can represent the performance of the robot hand. This paper presents the kinematic …

Autonomous drone racing (ADR) is a challenge for autonomous drones to navigate a cluttered indoor environment without relying on any external sensing in which all the sensing and computing must be done with onboard resources. Although no team …

This paper proposes a high-performance control strategy for an efficient manipulation of non-holonomic mobile robots in environments cluttered with static obstacles. Firstly, and based on the decoupled planning approach, a new algorithm for fast …
