— A key problem in deploying sensor networks in real-world applications is that of mapping, i.e. determining the location of each sensor such that subsequent tasks such as tracki...
AI problems such as autonomous robotic exploration, automatic diagnosis and activity recognition have in common the need for choosing among a set of informative but possibly expen...
New low-cost commercially available bottom-lock doppler sonars can augment or replace the acoustic timeof-flight navigation systems commonly employed for threedimensional underwat...

An asynchronous stochastic approximation based (Frequentist) approach is proposed for mapping using noisy mobile sensors under two different scenarios: 1) perfectly known sensor ...
— A decentralized, adaptive control law is presented to drive a network of mobile robots to a near-optimal sensing configuration. The control law is adaptive in that it integrat...
