—Real mobile robots should be able to build an abstract representation of the physical environment, in order to navigate and to work in such environment. We present a method for ...
Abstract--Continuum manipulators, inspired by the natural capabilities of elephant trunks and octopus tentacles, may find niche applications in areas like human
We consider the robot exploration of a planar graphlike world. The robot's goal is to build a complete map of its environment. The environment is modeled as an arbitrary undi...

: One important problem which may arise in designing a deployment strategy for a wireless sensor network is how to deploy a specific number of sensor nodes throughout an unknown ne...
Currently, robotic rotorcraft determine landing zones based on visual cues or predetermined GPS waypoints. Missions such as perch-and-stare or cargo delivery demand the ability to ...
