This paper presents a complete review of computer vision algorithms and vision-based
intelligent applications, that are developed in the field of the Unmanned Aerial Vehicles …

A bstract The omnidirectional drive is a popular challenging trend in today's mobile robotics
where different areas such as swarm, humanoid, legged, train-based, underwater, air flying …

Clutter creates challenges for robot manipulation, including a lack of non-contact trajectories
and reduced visibility for line-of-sight sensors. We demonstrate that robots can use whole …

The paper deals with the dynamics of a mobile robot with four Mecanum wheels. For such a
system the kinematical rolling conditions lead to non‐holonomic constraints. From the …

Omnidirectional wheeled mobile robots (OWMRs) have gained increasingly popularity
because they can move into any direction, while their orientation can be pointed to any …

This paper presents an intuitively straightforward yet comprehensive approach in
developing and controlling a Mecanum-wheeled robot (MWR), with decent path tracking …

To achieve accurate pose estimation for robots in industrial applications and services, this
brief proposes an effective feature-based downward-facing monocular visual odometry …

Nowadays, mobile robots have been investigated in many scenarios. Among varieties of
mobile robots, their I/O interfaces varies a lot, which seriously hinders the popularity of …

Here we present a novel bio-inspired optic flow (OF) sensor and its application to visual
guidance and odometry on a low-cost car-like robot called BioCarBot. The minimalistic OF …

This paper presents a framework for the development of a motion controller to optimize the
tracking control of position and orientation of a differentially-driven wheeled mobile robot …
