Computer-assisted robotic tiling of mosaics
Robotica, 2004 This paper describes the development of a system that is capable of tiling mosaics using a robot according to requirements of the individual customer. The art of mosaic, in one form or another, has been practiced manually for thousands of years. Modern developments in materials and production techniques could be found as evidence that mosaic is very ...

Simultaneous Parameter Calibration, Localization, and Mapping [PDF]
, 2012 The calibration parameters of a mobile robot play a substantial role in navigation tasks. Often these parameters are subject to variations that depend either on changes in the environment or on the load of the robot. In this paper, we propose an approach

Ultrashort intense-field optical vortices produced with laser-etched mirrors [PDF]
, 2007 We introduce a simple and practical method to create ultrashort intense optical vortices for applications involving high-intensity lasers. Our method utilizes femtosecond laser pulses to laser-etch grating lines into laser-quality gold mirrors.

Motion Planning for Multilink Robots by Implicit Configuration-Space Tiling [PDF]
IEEE Robotics and Automation Letters, 2016 We study the problem of motion-planning for free-flying multi-link robots and develop a sampling-based algorithm that is specifically tailored for the task. Our work is based on the simple observation that the set of configurations for which the robot is self-collision free is independent of the obstacles or of the exact placement of the robot.

Sampling-based Algorithms for Optimal Motion Planning [PDF]
, 2011 During the last decade, sampling-based path planning algorithms, such as Probabilistic RoadMaps (PRM) and Rapidly-exploring Random Trees (RRT), have been shown to work well in practice and possess theoretical guarantees such as probabilistic completeness.
