Disruptions and unexpected turbulences characterize the contemporary service industry and pose greater criticalities to organizations that have concerns about both their survival and their business sustainability. The answer to this challenge is to design an organizational system aimed at enhancing...

In this paper, we consider the problem of generating appropriate motions for a torque- controlled humanoid robot that is assigned a multi-contact loco-manipulation task, i.e., a task that requires the robot to move within the environment by repeatedly establishing and breaking multiple, non-...

We present a real-time algorithm for humanoid 3D walking and/or running based on a Model Predictive Control (MPC) approach. The objective is to generate a stable gait that replicates as closely as possible a footstep plan, i.e., a sequence of candidate footstep positions and orientations with...

This paper presents a novel algorithm for blending human inputs and automatic controller commands, guaranteeing safety in mixed-initiative interactions between humans and quadrotors. The algorithm is based on nonlinear model predictive control (NMPC) and involves using the state solution to assess...

Consider the problem of planning collision-free motions for a robot that is assigned a soft task constraint, i.e., a desired path in task space with an associated error tolerance. To this end, we propose an opportunistic planning strategy in which two subplanners take turns in generating motions....

This article considers the base station deployment problem in a wireless network. The natural formulation of this problem usually leads to numerical and memory issues, preventing users from dealing with real-world cases. We provide a compact reformulation that allows us to get beyond the drawbacks...
