This work presents a sliding-mode method for robotic path conditioning. The proposal includes a trap avoidance algorithm in order to escape from trap situations, which are analogous to local minima in potential field-based ...

Accidents in which buses or coaches are involved cause thousands of injuries and fatalities every year. To reduce their number and severity, the paper describes an Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) based on a haptic ...

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to compare the quality and efficiency of five methods for solving the path planning problem of industrial robots in complex environments. Design/methodology/approach In total, ...

This paper proposed a new methodology to solve collision free path planning problem for industrial robot using genetic algorithms. The method poses an optimization problem that aims to minimize the significant points ...

Buses and coaches are massive Passenger Transportation Systems (PTS), because they represent more than half of land PTS in the European Union. Despite of that, bus accident figures are lower than other means of transport, ...

[EN] A new approach for navigation of mobile robots in dynamic environments by using Linear Algebra Theory, Numerical Methods, and a modification of the Force Field Method is presented in this paper. The controller design ...

In this work, an approach based on task-priority redundancy resolution and sliding mode ideas is proposed for robot coordination. In particular, equality and inequality constraints representing the coordination of the ...
