Intelligent techniques foster the dissemination of new discoveries and novel technologies
that advance the ability of robots to assist and support humans. The human-centered …

Navigation is a basic skill for autonomous robots. In the last years human–robot interaction
has become an important research field that spans all of the robot capabilities including …

We review a range of techniques related to navigation of unmanned vehicles through
unknown environments with obstacles, especially those that rigorously ensure collision …

Mobile manipulators that combine base mobility with the dexterity of an articulated
manipulator have gained popularity in numerous applications ranging from manufacturing …

Provably safe motion planning for automated road vehicles must ensure that planned
motions do not result in a collision with other traffic participants. This is a major challenge in …

Navigation robots have the potential to overcome some of the limitations of traditional
navigation aids for blind people, specially in unfamiliar environments. In this paper, we …

Accurate trajectory tracking is unrealistic in real-world scenarios, however, which is
commonly assumed to facilitate motion planning algorithm design. In this paper, a safe and …

Autonomous vehicles interacting with other traffic participants heavily rely on the perception
and prediction of other agents' behaviors to plan safe trajectories. However, as occlusions …

Provable safety is one of the most critical challenges in automated driving. The behavior of
numerous traffic participants in a scene cannot be predicted reliably due to complex …

This study aimed to explore how autonomous vehicles can predict potential risks and
efficiently pass through the dangerous interaction areas in the face of occluded scenes or …
