In post-disaster scenarios, effective rescue operations hinge on deploying robots equipped with sophisticated path planning algorithms capable of navigating through complex and unknown environments, facilitating an exhaustive search for survivors. Th...
In this study, we present an enhanced Rapidly-exploring Random Trees (RRT) algorithm integrated with a visual servoing technique for recognizing unknown environments. The robotic platform utilized is the SCORBOT-ER-VII, which consists of five links, ...
In many applications, such as coverage exploration and search and rescue missions, accurately assessing environmental complexity is valuable for performance evaluation and algorithm adjustments. Despite this, in the context of multi-robot systems, qu...
In response to the widely used RRT-Connect path planning algorithm in the field of robotic arms, which has problems such as long search time, random node growth, multiple and unsmooth path turns, a path planning algorithm combining dynamic step size ...
The likelihood of pedestrians encountering autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) in smart cities is steadily increasing. While previous studies have explored human-to-human collision avoidance, the behavior of humans avoiding AMRs in direct, head-on scenar...
