DeformX: A Versatile Co-Simulation Framework for Deformable Linear Objects
Yi Yang, Xiang Fei, Lehong Wang +5
Deformable linear objects (DLOs) such as wires, cables, and ropes are common in robotic manipulation tasks, yet simulating them with both visual realism and physical accuracy remai…
Two-Phase Bilevel Search for the Moving-Target Traveling Salesman Problem with Moving Obstacles
Allen George Philip, Anoop Bhat, Sivakumar Rathinam +1
The Moving-Target Traveling Salesman Problem (MT-TSP) seeks a minimum cost trajectory for an agent that departs from a static depot, visits a set of moving targets, each within one…
Optimal Solutions for the Moving Target Vehicle Routing Problem with Obstacles via Lazy Branch and Price
Anoop Bhat, Geordan Gutow, Surya Singh +3
The Moving Target Vehicle Routing Problem with Obstacles (MT-VRP-O) seeks trajectories for several agents that collectively intercept a set of moving targets. Each target has one o…
Optimal Solutions for the Moving Target Vehicle Routing Problem via Branch-and-Price with Relaxed Continuity
Anoop Bhat, Geordan Gutow, Zhongqiang Ren +2
The Moving Target Vehicle Routing Problem (MT-VRP) seeks trajectories for several agents that intercept a set of moving targets, subject to speed, time window, and capacity constra…
Parallel, Asymptotically Optimal Algorithms for Moving Target Traveling Salesman Problems
Anoop Bhat, Geordan Gutow, Bhaskar Vundurthy +3
The Moving Target Traveling Salesman Problem (MT-TSP) seeks a trajectory that intercepts several moving targets, within a particular time window for each target. When generic nonli…
System Design of the Ultra Mobility Vehicle: A Driving, Balancing, and Jumping Bicycle Robot
Benjamin Bokser, Daniel Gonzalez, Aaron Preston +39
Trials cyclists and mountain bike riders can hop, jump, balance, and drive on one or both wheels. This versatility allows them to achieve speed and energy-efficiency on smooth terr…
