    • A Robust Layered Control System for a Mobile Robot 

      Brooks, Rodney A. (1985-09-01)
      We describe a new architecture for controlling mobile robots. Layers of control system are built to let the robot operate at increasing levels of competence. Layers are made up of asynchronous modules which communicate ...

    • Direct Passive Navigation: Analytical Solution for Planes 

      Negahdaripour, Shahriar (1985-08-01)
      In this paper, we derive a closed form solution for recovering the motion of an observer relative to a planar surface directly from image brightness derivatives. We do not compute the optical flow as an intermediate ...

    • The Synthesis of Force-Closure Grasps 

      Nguyen; Van-Duc (1985-09-01)
      This paper addresses the problem of synthesizing planar grasps that have force closure. A grasp on an object is a force closure grasp if and only if we can exert, through the set of contacts, arbitrary force and moment on ...
