We consider the problem of multi-robot path planning in a complex, cluttered environment with the aim of reducing overall congestion in the environment, while avoiding any inter-robot communication or coordination. Such limitations may exist due to lack of communication or due to privacy restrictions (for example, autonomous vehicles may not want t...

Snake-like robots can enable workers to avoid difficult-to-reach, dangerous, and hazardous environments while enhancing their capabilities. The technologies developed for a snake-like robot can be transferred to applications such as robotic exploration, minimally invasive surgical robotics, and robotic manipulation in manufacturing industries. In t...

There is a rising demand for multiple-cable controlled robots in stadiums or warehouses due to its low cost, longer operation time, and higher safety standards. In a cluttered environment, the cables can wrap around obstacles, but careful choice needs to be made for the initial cable configurations to ensure that the workspace of the robot is optim...
