— In this paper, scalable collaborative human-robot systems for information gathering applications are approached as a decentralized Bayesian sensor network problem. Humancompute...
We investigate the application of a low-cost, pervasively distributed network to plan paths for mobile robots in environments with dynamic obstacles. We consider a heterogeneous s...
As robots and humans move towards sharing the same environment, the need for safety in robotic systems is of growing importance. Towards this goal of human-friendly robotics, a rob...
— Recent years have witnessed the proliferation of a new class of devices, commonly referred to as Networked Embedded Devices. Their increasingly low cost and small size make the...
