Mobile robots joining public spaces like sidewalks must care for pedestrian comfort. Many studies consider pedestrians' objective safety, for example, by developing collision avoidance algorithms, but not enough studies take the pedestrian's subjective safety or comfort into consideration. Quantifyi…
Achieving flexible human-following in real-world environments remains a critical yet challenging problem in Human-Robot Interaction (HRI). Traditional approaches typically constrain robots to fixed tracking positions—such as following from behind, ahead, or alongside—thereby limiting their adaptabil
This paper addresses the problem of cooperative transportation using multiple omnidirectional Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs). To enhance flexibility and application potentials, mecanum-wheeled platform is considered for the proposed multi-AGV system while the cooperative transportation is executed…
This paper presents the design, modeling, control, and experimental test of a solar-powered quadcopter to allow for long-endurance missions. We first present the design of a large-scale quadcopter that incorporates solar energy harvesting capabilities. Based on the design results, we built the dynam…
A decentralized bilateral teleoperation system is studied in this paper by using estimators with task abstraction. There is only a part of mobile robots in the multi-robot system can receive the human command via the master robot located in the local side. By exchanging information through a undirec…
The coverage control problem for multiple mobile robot system with limited and dissimilar sensing abilities is addressed in this article. There exist missing areas while taking the previously developed r-limited Voronoi partitions due to distinct sensing ranges. Thus, a modified partitioning approac…
This paper presents a mission planning problem for a cooperative team of unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs), which includes multiple rovers and a solar-powered mobile charging station. The team is required to start at an initial point and visit a series of objective points before arriving at the final…
