Abstract: This paper presents a new technique for design of full-state feedback controllers for linear dynamic systems in three stages. The new technique is based on appropriate partitioning of the linear dynamic system into linear ...

Abstract: In this paper, we present a method to accurately predict the wheel speed limits at which mobile robots can operate without significant slipping. The method is based on an asymptotic solution of the nonlinear equations of ...

Abstract: The task of classifying unexploded mortars is critical in both humanitarian and military explosive ordnance disposal (EOD) operations. Classification needs to be completed quickly and accurately and is the first step toward ...

Abstract: A novel open-loop control method is presented for mobile robots based on an asymptotic inverse dynamic solution and trajectory planning. The method is based on quantification of sliding by a small nondimensional parameter. ...

Abstract: In this article, a compressive sensing-based reconstruction algorithm is applied to data acquired from a nodding multibeam Lidar system following a Lissajous-like trajectory. Multibeam Lidar systems provide 3D depth ...
