— The dangerous and time sensitive nature of a disaster area makes it an ideal application for robotic exploration. Our long term goal is to enable humans, software agents, and a...
Network coding is an emerging field of research with sound and mature theory supporting it. Recent works shows that it has many benefits like improved fault tolerance, higher ...
Software has become strategic to developing effective distributed real-time and embedded (DRE) systems. Next-generation DRE systems, such as total ship computing environments, coo...
Exact cellular decompositions are structures that globally encode the topology of a robot's free space, while locally describing the free space's geometry. These structu...
