— Traditionally, robot control has been done typically by “highly precise control algorithms”: the position of each movable body part is accurately determined at any time wit...
Recent research in robot exploration and mapping has focused on sampling environmental hotspot fields. This exploration task is formalized by Low, Dolan, and Khosla (2008) in a se...
Mobile devices, like sensor networks and MEMS actuators use mobile power supplies to ensure energy for their operation. These are mostly batteries. The lifetime of the devices dep...
This paper presents a vision-based tracking system suitable for autonomous robot vehicle guidance. The system includes a head with three on-board CCD cameras, which can be mounted...
—We present a novel approach for minimizing the energy consumption of medium access control (MAC) protocols developed for duty-cycled wireless sensor networks (WSN) for the unslo...
