Vision meets robotics: The KITTI dataset

Andreas Geiger, Philip Lenz, Christoph Stiller et al. · 23 Aug 2013

We present a novel dataset captured from a VW station wagon for use in mobile robotics and autonomous driving research. In total, we recorded 6 hours of traffic scenarios at 10–100 Hz using a variety of sensor modalities such as high-resolution color and grayscale stereo cameras, a Velodyne 3D laser scanner and a high-precision GPS/IMU…

Real-Time Obstacle Avoidance for Manipulators and Mobile Robots

Oussama Khatib · 1 Mar 1986

This paper presents a unique real-time obstacle avoidance approach for manipulators and mobile robots based on the artificial potential field concept. Collision avoidance, tradi tionally considered a high level planning problem, can be effectively distributed between different levels of control, al lowing real-time robot operations in a complex environment. This method has been extended to…

Passive Dynamic Walking

Tad McGeer · 1 Apr 1990

There exists a class of two-legged machines for which walking is a natural dynamic mode. Once started on a shallow slope, a machine of this class will settle into a steady gait quite comparable to human walking, without active control or en ergy input. Interpretation and analysis of the physics are straightforward; the walking cycle,…

Randomized Kinodynamic Planning

Steven M. LaValle, James Kuffner · 1 May 2001

This paper presents the first randomized approach to kinodynamic planning (also known as trajectory planning or trajectory design). The task is to determine control inputs to drive a robot from an ini ial configuration and velocity to a goal configuration and velocity while obeying physically based dynamical models and avoiding obstacles in the robot’s environment.…

Reinforcement learning in robotics: A survey

Jens Kober, J. Andrew Bagnell, Jan Peters · 23 Aug 2013

Reinforcement learning offers to robotics a framework and set of tools for the design of sophisticated and hard-to-engineer behaviors. Conversely, the challenges of robotic problems provide both inspiration, impact, and validation for developments in reinforcement learning. The relationship between disciplines has sufficient promise to be likened to that between physics and mathematics. In this article,…

The International Journal of Robotics Research template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the The International Journal of Robotics Research format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the The International Journal of Robotics Research template. When you export, DocuGuru compiles the paper into the official SAGE format and hands you a submission-ready PDF along with the editable LaTeX source.
What reference style does The International Journal of Robotics Research use?
The International Journal of Robotics Research uses Author–year (Harvard) references, shown as author–year markers such as (Smith, 2023) in the text. DocuGuru formats every in-text citation and the reference list in this exact style automatically. A reference appears like this: Smith, A., Jones, B. and Lee, C. (2023) 'A representative article title', The International Journal of Robotics Research, 12(3), pp. 45–58.
Do I need to know LaTeX to submit to The International Journal of Robotics Research?
No. DocuGuru generates the sagej LaTeX class and compiles the PDF for you in the background, so you get a SAGE-ready The International Journal of Robotics Research document without writing any LaTeX. If you do want it, the LaTeX source is included in the export.
Can I import an existing draft into the The International Journal of Robotics Research template?
Yes. Paste or upload your current manuscript — Word, LaTeX, Markdown, or plain text — and DocuGuru reflows it into the The International Journal of Robotics Research format with correct headings, figures, tables, and author–year citations.
What is The International Journal of Robotics Research?
SAGE journal (sagej). It is a multidisciplinary journal, published by SAGE.
Can I export a submission-ready The International Journal of Robotics Research PDF?
Yes — DocuGuru produces a PDF built with the official The International Journal of Robotics Research template (the sagej class) that is ready to submit to SAGE, together with the matching LaTeX source files.
How much does the The International Journal of Robotics Research template cost?
You can start writing in the The International Journal of Robotics Research template for free. Exporting the final submission-ready The International Journal of Robotics Research PDF and LaTeX source is part of DocuGuru's paid plans — see the app for current pricing.
