— Free-space dilation is an effective approach for narrow passage sampling, a well-recognized difficulty in probabilistic roadmap (PRM) planning. Key to this approach are method...
Abstract— The localization capability is central to basic navigation tasks and motivates development of various visual navigation systems. In this paper we describe a two stage a...
—Stochastic activity networks (SANs) are a stochastic generalization of Petri nets. SAN models have been used to evaluate a wide range of systems and are supported by several mod...
