Abstract— The mapping and localization problems have received considerable attention in robotics recently. The exploration problem that drives mapping has started to generate sim...
—Recently it has been recognized that robust motion planners should take into account the varying performance of localization sensors across the configuration space. Although a n...
Emergency management is more than just events occurring within an emergency situation. It encompasses a variety of persistent activities such as planning, training, assessment, and...
— Mapping an environment with an imaging sensor becomes very challenging if the environment to be mapped is unknown and has to be explored. Exploration involves the planning of v...
One goal for future Mars missions is for a rover to be able to navigate autonomously to science targets not visible to the rover, but seen in orbital or descent images. This can b...
