Autonomous mobile robots need good models of their environment, sensors and actuators to navigate reliably and efficiently. While this information can be supplied by humans, or le...
– Active SLAM poses the challenge for an autonomous robot to plan efficient paths simultaneous to the SLAM process. The uncertainties of the robot, map and sensor measurements, a...
— In mobile manipulation, the position to which the robot navigates has a large influence on the ease with which a subsequent manipulation action can be performed. Whether a man...
We describe an integrated system for programming part-mating and contact tasks using simulation. A principal goal of this work is to make robotic programming easy and intuitive fo...
— Our long-term objective is to develop robots that engage in natural language-mediated cooperative tasks with humans. To support this goal, we are developing an amodal represent...
