— We explore an online problem where a group of robots has to find a target whose position is unknown in an unknown planar environment whose geometry is acquired by the robots d...
This paper presents a new globally convergent rangesensor based navigation algorithm in three-dimensions, called 3DBug. The 3DBug algorithm navigates a point robot in a three-dime...
Urban environments require cognitive abilities focused on both spatial overview and detailed understanding of uses and places. These abilities are distinct but overlap and reinfor...
In this paper, we describe a nature-inspired optimization algorithm based on bee foraging behavior. This algorithm combines the high performance of bee path-integration navigation...
Consider a group of autonomous, mobile robots with the ability to physically connect to one another (self-assemble). The group is said to exhibit functional self-assembly if the ro...
