In this paper we study the observability properties of visual-place-recognition (VPR)-based localization systems for mobile robots. In our setup, the environment is split into discrete cells and the robot\u2019s camera, through a VPR module, provides a discrete place label together with probabilistic distribution over [&hellip;]<\/span><\/li><li class=\"listing-item\"><a class=\"title\" href=\"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/icrl\/design-modeling-and-control-of-a-h-frame-type-xy-positioning-system\/\">Design, Modeling and Control of a H-Frame Type XY Positioning System<\/a> <span class=\"excerpt-dash\">-<\/span> <span class=\"excerpt\">XY positioning systems are widely used in industry to position a part or a tool within a two dimensional rectangular area. These systems are typically used for cutting, welding, marking or for pick-and-place applications.
