— When an emergency occurs within a building, it may be initially safer to send autonomous mobile nodes, instead of human responders, to explore the area and identify hazards and...
We consider the problem of coverage and exploration of an unknown dynamic environment using a mobile robot(s). The environment is assumed to be large enough such that constant moti...
In field environments it is not usually possible to provide robots in advance with valid geometric models of its environment and task element locations. The robot or robot teams ne...
Abstract--For the last decade, we have developed a visionbased architecture for mobile robot navigation. Our bio-inspired model of the navigation has proved to achieve sensory-moto...
This paper studies the use of wireless Ethernet (Wi-Fi) as a localization sensor for mobile robots. Wi-Fi-based localization relies on the existence of one or more Wi-Fi devices i...
