Visibility-Based Planning of Sensor Control Strategies
Abstract. We consider the problem of planning sensor control strategies that enable a sensor to be automatically configured for robot tasks. In this paper we present robust and eff...

Localization and Mapping for Autonomous Navigation in Outdoor Terrains : A Stereo Vision Approach
We consider the problem of autonomous navigation in unstructured outdoor terrains using vision sensors. The goal is for a robot to come into a new environment, map it and move to ...

Self-Localization with RFID snapshots in densely tagged environments
Abstract— In this paper we show that, despite some disadvantageous properties of radio frequency identification (RFID), it is possible to localize a mobile robot quite accuratel...

Physical Path Planning Using a Pervasive Embedded Network
Abstract--We evaluate a technique that uses an embedded network deployed pervasively throughout an environment to aid robots in navigation. The embedded nodes do not know their abs...

Opportunistic Use of Vision to Push Back the Path-Planning Horizon
Abstract— Mobile robots need maps or other forms of geometric information about the environment to navigate. The mobility sensors (LADAR, stereo, etc.) on these robotic vehicles ...
