This paper presents a one step smooth and efficient path planning algorithm for navigating a large robotic platform in known cluttered environments. The proposed strategy, based on the generation of a novel search space, ...

This paper presents experimental results evaluating the performance of a new multiple Rapidly exploring Random Tree (RRT) algorithm. RRTs are randomised planners especially adept at solving difficult, high dimensional path ...

A force field (F2) based multi-robot collaboration method is presented in this paper. In this method, a virtual force field is generated for every moving robot and continuously changing based on the robot status including ...

This paper considers the assignment of tasks with interdependencies in a heterogeneous multiprocessor environment where task execution time varies with task as well as the processing element processing it. The solution ...

Simultaneous localisation and mapping (SLAM) is the process of estimating the pose of a mobile robot and the locations of landmarks by using sensors. When SLAM is cast as an information extraction procedure, its quality ...

The fully automated docks in Australia present opportunities for applications of autonomous vehicles and engineering innovation. When planning tasks to be done by multi-autonomous vehicles in an enclosed area with a ...
