Abstract: We propose a Kullback–Leibler divergence (KLD) filter to extract anomalies within data series generated by a broad class of proximity sensors, along with the anomaly locations and their relative sizes. The technique applies ...

Abstract: We present the continuous model of a mobile slender mechanism that is intended to be the structure of an autonomous hyperredundant slender robotic system. Rigid body degreesoffreedom (DOF) and deformability are coupled ...

Abstract: We present a fully decentralized motion control algorithm for the coordination of platoons of mobile agents with highly restricted communication capabilities. In order to address very low bandwidth communication between ...

Abstract: In this paper, we study the dynamics of an articulated planar mobile robot for confined environment exploration. The mobile vehicle is composed of n identical modules hitched together with passive revolute joints. Each ...

Abstract: Vision impairment caused by degenerative retinal pathologies such as age-related macular degeneration can be treated using retinal implants. Such devices receive power and data using cables passing through a permanent ...
