In this paper, we present a new approach for continuous probabilistic mapping. The objective is to build metric maps of unknown environments through cooperation between multiple au...
: In this paper we describe how the combination of several vision sensors can be used to track multiple human targets in a typical surveillance situation. The experimental system d...
: We are developing a robotic measurement facility which makes it very easy to build “reality-based” models, i.e., computational models of existing, physical objects based on a...

Abstract: We present a composite forward model of the mechanics of an excavator backhoe digging in soil. This model is used to predict the trajectories developed by a closed-loop f...
This paper describes our experiments with a distributed manipulation system. We study a system in which multiple robots cooperate to move large objects such as furniture and boxes ...
