Distributed Motion Planning with Safety Guarantees for Self-Reconfiguring Robotic Boats
Alejandro Gonzalez-Garcia, Wei Wang, Wei Xiao +4
Aquatic self-reconfigurable robots must assemble into desired shapes while ensuring safe interactions among multiple agents. This paper proposes a hybrid framework that combines di…
A Closed-Form CLF-CBF Controller for Whole-Body Continuum Soft Robot Collision Avoidance
Kiwan Wong, Maximillian Stölzle, Wei Xiao +1
Safe operation is essential for deploying robots in human-centered 3D environments. Soft continuum manipulators provide passive safety through mechanical compliance, but still requ…
Safe Motion Planning and Control Using Predictive and Adaptive Barrier Methods for Autonomous Surface Vessels
Alejandro Gonzalez-Garcia, Wei Xiao, Wei Wang +5
Safe motion planning is essential for autonomous vessel operations, especially in challenging spaces such as narrow inland waterways. However, conventional motion planning approach…
Contact-Aware Safety in Soft Robots Using High-Order Control Barrier and Lyapunov Functions
Kiwan Wong, Maximilian Stölzle, Wei Xiao +3
Robots operating alongside people, particularly in sensitive scenarios such as aiding the elderly with daily tasks or collaborating with workers in manufacturing, must guarantee sa…
Safe Control for Soft-Rigid Robots with Self-Contact using Control Barrier Functions
Zach J. Patterson, Wei Xiao, Emily Sologuren +1
Incorporating both flexible and rigid components in robot designs offers a unique solution to the limitations of traditional rigid robotics by enabling both compliance and strength…
