Un ultimo ringraziamento va a Lui, non si gioca a dadi qui, c'` e il Suo sogno per ognuno di noi, a noi non resta che viverlo.

The aim of a soccer game is to score more goals than the opponent does. The chances of doing so increase when all the own players are continuously present on the field. In the RoboCup Standard Platform League (SPL), the only reasons for players not to participate in a game are that they either have been penalized or they have not been ready for the match in the first place. This paper presents ...

This paper investigates worst-case analysis of a moving obstacle avoidance algorithm for unmanned vehicles in a dynamic environment in the presence of uncertainties and variations. Automatic worst-case search algorithms are developed based on optimization techniques, illustrated by a Pioneer robot with a moving obstacle avoidance algorithm developed using the potential field method. The uncerta...

The article addresses comparison of fuzzy BKproduct approach with A* search algorithm for optimal path finding of the autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs). The technique is designed to accomplish two missions: obstacle avoidance using ARTMAP and fuzzy BK-product and comparison of optimal path finding with A* search algorithm. In the first mission, underwater obstacle avoidance technique has al...

In this work, we suggested a new approach for the control of a mobile robot capable of being a building block of an intelligent agent. This approach includes obstacle avoidance and goal tracking implemented as two different sliding mode controllers. A geometry based behavior arbitration is proposed for fusing the two outputs. Proposed structure is tested on simulations and real robot. Results h...

This paper describes the development of a practical manipulator system. The manipulator requirements dictated by space exploration, the functional elements which meet those require­ ments, and the problems encountered in imple­ menting those requirements are discussed. The paper focuses primarily on the implemen­ tation of the functional elements and the real world problems encountered by the m...

This paper deals with the driving environment perception of cybercars from a vision system. The planification of the trajectory for an Autonomous Guided Vehicle requires to robustly segment the free space around the vehicle to manage an obstacle avoidance task. Opposite to the highways conditions, the urban environment still remains as the most complex environment due to the static scene can no...

The robot soccer game based complex motion control has been widely studied for the moving object capture and shooting. A position prediction algorithm based on global vision is introduced in order to improve the accuracy and robustness of the vision system for tracking moving objects, including a Kalmanfiter, a dynamic window and an obstacle avoidance strategy. This paper deals with the positon...

This paper examines the role of the human driver as the primary control element within the traditional driver-vehicle system. Lateral and longitudinal control tasks such as path-following, obstacle avoidance, and headway control are examples of steering and braking activities performed by the human driver. Physical limitations as well as various attributes that make the human driver unique and ...
