An Investigation into Non-Smooth Locomotion
We analyze a class of mechanisms that locomote by switching between constraints. Because of the hybrid nature of such systems, most of the existing analysis tools, developed prima...

Auxiliary Particle Filter Robot Localization from High-Dimensional Sensor Observations
We apply the auxiliary particle filter algorithm of Pitt and Shephard (1999) to the problem of robot localization. To deal with the high-dimensional sensor observations (images) ...
