— The success of sampling-based motion planners has resulted in a plethora of methods for improving planning components, such as sampling and connection strategies, local planner...
This paper introduces a method that reconstructs a surface patch by sampling along three concurrent curves on the surface with a touch sensor. These data curves, each lying in a d...
— Matching laser range scans observed at different points in time is a crucial component of many robotics tasks, including mobile robot localization and mapping. While existing t...
