Coordinated Locomotion of Mobile Sensor Networks
Stationary wireless sensor networks (WSNs) fail to scale when the area to be monitored is open (i.e borderless) and the physical phenomena to be monitored may migrate through a la...

Use of Dempster-Shafer Conflict Metric to Adapt Sensor Allocation to Unknown Environments
This paper considers a robot with multiple sensors navigating an unknown, heterogeneous environment. In these cases sensor errors may produce an unsuitable model of the world. For...

Omnidirectional Vision Based Topological Navigation
Abstract. In this work we present a novel system for autonomous mobile robot navigation. With only an omnidirectional camera as sensor, this system is able to build automatically a...

Visual navigation and obstacle avoidance using a steering potential function
Humans have a remarkable ability to navigate using only vision, but mobile robots have not been nearly as successful. We propose a new approach to vision-guided local navigation, ...
