— In this paper a novel multipart control is developed for a trotting quadruped robot. The control is designed to drive the quadruped to a steady-state motion with desired forwar...
– The success of a landed space exploration mission depends largely on the final landing site. Factors influencing site selection include safety, fuel-consumption, and scientific...
In this paper, a new methodology to build compact local maps in real time for outdoor robot navigation is presented. The environment information is obtained from a 3-D scanner lase...
Autonomous mobile robots need to adapt their behavior to the terrain over which they drive, and to predict the traversability of the terrain so that they can effectively plan thei...

We apply an advancing front technique to the problem of simplification of dense digitized terrain models. While most simplification algorithms have been based on either incrementa...
