Abstract. We investigate the application of a Monte Carlo localization filter to the problem of combining local and global observations of a small, off-the-shelf quadruped domest...
As a robot formation increases in size or explores places where it is difficult for a human operator to interact, autonomous control becomes critical. We propose a distributed aut...
— The creation of a robot capable of navigating in unknown urban environments without the use of GPS data or prior map knowledge is envisioned in the Autonomous City Explorer (AC...
— Human control of high degree-of-freedom robotic systems, e.g. anthropomorphic robot hands, is often difficult due to the overwhelming number of variables that need to be speci...
Our group builds robots to operate in natural, social environments. The challenge of interacting with humans constrains how our robots appear physically, how they move, how they p...
