Batch Informed Trees (BIT*): Informed Asymptotically Optimal Anytime Search
, 2020 Path planning in robotics often requires finding high-quality solutions to continuously valued and/or high-dimensional problems. These problems are challenging and most planning algorithms instead solve simplified approximations.

Proximal operators for multi-agent path planning [PDF]
, 2015 We address the problem of planning collision-free paths for multiple agents using optimization methods known as proximal algorithms. Recently this approach was explored in Bento et al.

Modeling and Mathematical Analysis of Swarms of Microscopic Robots [PDF]
, 2005 The biologically-inspired swarm paradigm is being used to design self-organizing systems of locally interacting artificial agents. A major difficulty in designing swarms with desired characteristics is understanding the causal relation between individual

Uncertainty Estimation in One-Stage Object Detection
, 2020 Environment perception is the task for intelligent vehicles on which all subsequent steps rely. A key part of perception is to safely detect other road users such as vehicles, pedestrians, and cyclists.

Controlled Tactile Exploration and Haptic Object Recognition [PDF]
, 2017 In this paper we propose a novel method for in-hand object recognition. The method is composed of a grasp stabilization controller and two exploratory behaviours to capture the shape and the softness of an object.
