This paper explores the possibility of using Sun altitude for localization of a robot in totally unknown territory. A set of Sun altitudes is obtained by processing a sequence of ...
Abstract—This paper presents an information-theoretic approach to sensor placement that incorporates communication capacity into an optimal formulation. A new formulation is pres...
In this paper we examine issues of localization, exploration, and planning in the context of a hybrid robot/camera-network system. We exploit the ubiquity of camera networks to us...
Abstract-We study the problem of achieving global behavior in a group of distributed robots using only local sensing and minimal communication, in the context of formations. The go...
In the field of service robotics, robots serve and assist human beings. It is natural for humans to directly interact with the robot via tactile interfaces. This paper introduces...
