A list of my robotics publications, along with their citations and abstracts. Theory of operation and experimental results are described. It is shown how reflex control can enhance the survivability of complex systems without degrading performance.
Reflex control is described as a valuable component of robust, autonomous systems.
Robotics and Automation, Atlanta, pp. Abstract Using reflex control, we have achieved guaranteed obstacle avoidance taking into account robot dynamics. The reflex controller inspects nearby configuration space and does not approve commands that would result in collision with an obstacle, even under high-speed motions. A new generalized approach to implement reflex control is described. Real-Time Configuration Space Transforms for Obstacle Avoidance Wyatt S. Newman and Michael S. Branicky Int.
