GVD-Exploration: An Efficient Autonomous Robot Exploration Framework Based on Fast Generalized Voronoi Diagram Extraction
Dingfeng Chen, Anxing Xiao, Meiyuan Zou +3
Rapidly-exploring Random Trees (RRTs) are a popular technique for autonomous exploration of mobile robots. However, the random sampling used by RRTs can result in inefficient and i…
Collaborative Trolley Transportation System with Autonomous Nonholonomic Robots
Bingyi Xia, Hao Luan, Ziqi Zhao +5
Cooperative object transportation using multiple robots has been intensively studied in the control and robotics literature, but most approaches are either only applicable to omnid…
PUTN: A Plane-fitting based Uneven Terrain Navigation Framework
Zhuozhu Jian, Zihong Lu, Xiao Zhou +4
Autonomous navigation of ground robots has been widely used in indoor structured 2D environments, but there are still many challenges in outdoor 3D unstructured environments, espec…
Quadruped Guidance Robot for the Visually Impaired: A Comfort-Based Approach
Yanbo Chen, Zhengzhe Xu, Zhuozhu Jian +5
Guidance robots that can guide people and avoid various obstacles, could potentially be owned by more visually impaired people at a fairly low cost. Most of the previous guidance r…
Robotic Autonomous Trolley Collection with Progressive Perception and Nonlinear Model Predictive Control
Anxing Xiao, Hao Luan, Ziqi Zhao +5
Autonomous mobile manipulation robots that can collect trolleys are widely used to liberate human resources and fight epidemics. Most prior robotic trolley collection solutions onl…
Autonomous Navigation for Quadrupedal Robots with Optimized Jumping through Constrained Obstacles
Scott Gilroy, Derek Lau, Lizhi Yang +8
Quadrupeds are strong candidates for navigating challenging environments because of their agile and dynamic designs. This paper presents a methodology that extends the range of exp…
Robotic Guide Dog: Leading a Human with Leash-Guided Hybrid Physical Interaction
Anxing Xiao, Wenzhe Tong, Lizhi Yang +3
An autonomous robot that is able to physically guide humans through narrow and cluttered spaces could be a big boon to the visually-impaired. Most prior robotic guiding systems are…
