— Underwater operations present unique challenges and opportunities for robotic applications. These can be attributed in part to limited sensing capabilities, and to locomotion b...
We are developing a new paradigm for a world model construction system which interprets a scene and builds a world model for a mobile robot using dynamic semantic constraints. The...
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...
We study exploration problems where a robot has to construct a complete map of an unknown environment using a path that is as short as possible. In the rst problem setting we cons...
We present a complete system for obstacle avoidance for a mobile robot. It was used in the RoboCup 2003 obstacle avoidance challenge in the Sony Four Legged League. The system enab...
