We describe techniques for automatically acquiring observations of a deforming object and for estimating a model of the deformation from these observations. A robotic system was d...
Abstract— Navigating through unknown outdoor environments requires a robot to be able to see and model the far field terrain. In recent years this problem of seeing beyond relia...
Abstract— This paper presents a tactical path planning algorithm for following ridges or valleys across a 3D terrain. The intent is to generate a path that enables an unmanned ve...

— A biologically inspired foveated attention system in an object detection scenario is proposed. Thereby, a highperformance active multi-focal camera system imitates visual behav...
One goal for future Mars missions is for a rover to be able to navigate autonomously to science targets not visible to the rover, but seen in orbital or descent images. This can b...
