— When an emergency occurs within a building, it may be initially safer to send autonomous mobile nodes, instead of human responders, to explore the area and identify hazards and...
An autonomous mobile robot must be able to combine uncertain sensory information with prior knowledge of the world. Moreover, these operations have to be performed fast enough for...
In this paper, we describe development of a mobile robot which does unsupervised learning for recognizing an environment from action sequences. We call this novel recognition appr...
In this paper we examine issues of localization, exploration, and planning in the context of a hybrid robot/camera-network system. We exploit the ubiquity of camera networks to us...
For a mobile robot to act autonomously, it must be able to construct a model of its interaction with the environment. Oates et al. developed an unsupervised learning method that pr...
