— We present a topological navigation system that is able to visually recognize the different rooms of an apartment and guide a robot between them. Specifically tailored for sma...
Design space exploration of embedded systems typically focuses on classical design goals such as cost, timing, buffer sizes, and power consumption. Robustness criteria, i.e. sensi...
High performance computers currently under construction, such as IBM’s Blue Gene/L, consisting of large numbers (64K) of low cost processing elements with relatively small local...

As robots become a mass consumer product, they will need to learn new skills by interacting with typical human users. Past approaches have adapted reinforcement learning (RL) to a...
Rodents possess extraordinary navigation abilities that are far in excess of what current state-of-the-art robot agents are capable of. This paper describes research that is part ...
