This paper discusses the application of robotic technologies to an evacuation assistance task. We describe how this kind of task differs from the more prevalent search and rescue ...
Abstract— This paper considers the problem of learning to recognize different terrains from color imagery in a fully automatic fashion, using the robot’s mechanical sensors as ...

A mobile robot requires perception of its local environment for both sensor based locomotion and for position estimation. Occupancy grids, based on ultrasonic range data, provide ...
Shape memory alloy (SMA) based actuators have a number of attributes which make them useful for robotic applications. Unfortunately their response is relatively slow, being limite...
Nodes in sensor fields and in autonomous swarms of mobile robots need to communicate; this usually requires individual nodes to either consume a significant amount of energy, ca...
