...Xiangdi Yue; Yihuan Zhang; Jiawei Chen; Junxin Chen; Xuanyi Zhou; Miaolei He Purpose In recent decades, the field of robotic mapping has witnessed widespread research and development in light detection and ranging (LiDAR)-based simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) techniques. This paper...

... on the concept of human arm motion imitation by the robot end-effector. The teleoperation-based real-time control architecture is used for direct and effective imitation learning. Using this architecture, a self-sufficient trajectory planner is designed which has inbuilt mapping strategy and direct learning...

... Assembly Mapping Communication Aerial Another project of Professor McLurkin, while at Rice University, has been to develop software to better enable swarms of robots in the 10-10,000 count range to effectively communicate individually while maintaining distributed control. He has examined...
