Navigating Linked Multi-Component Robotic Systems (L-MCRS)---robot pairs tethered by passive flexible hoses---through dynamic pedestrian environments is fundamentally harder than rigid multi-robot coordination, as the uncontrollable hose creates a variable-geometry collision footprint spanning 118 p…
This paper presents a heterogeneous skill learning framework for asynchronous multi robot relay pushing in complex and cluttered environments. To support cooperative relay transportation, we construct a skill library comprising room robot pushing, corridor helper pushing, and standby behaviors. We f…
In this letter, we propose a novel formation controller for nonholonomic agents to form general parametric curves. First, we derive a unified parametric representation for both open and closed curves. Then, a leader-follower formation controller is designed to drive agents to form the desired parame
This letter presents a new method to automatically transport objects with mobile robots via non-prehensile actions. Our proposed approach utilizes a pair of nonholonomic robots connected by a deformable tube to efficiently manipulate objects of irregular shapes toward target locations. To autonomous
