— In this work we consider the problem of pursuit evasion games (PEGs) where a group of pursuers is required to detect, chase and capture a group of evaders with the aid of a sen...
— The paper contributes to presenting both an accurate and robust shape tracking algorithm and a novel visual servoing method. Two steps are involved in the tracking algorithm. F...
— We present a method for learning activity-based ground models based on a multiple particle filter approach to motion tracking in video acquired from a moving aerial platform. ...

- Robot photographers have appeared in a variety of novelty settings over the past few years and typically have exploited rudimentary image-content-based approaches to identifying ...
— In this paper the problem of adaptively controlling a hydraulic system with uncertainties is considered. An adaptive controller is derived to control actuator force with unknow...

- Using the Darwin2k development software, a genetic algorithm (GA) was used to design and optimize a pipecrawling robot for parameters such as mass, power consumption, and joint e...
-In order to implement a continuous and robust dynamic localization of a mobile robot, the fusion of dead reckoning and absolute sensors is often used. Depending on the objectives ...
— We continue our investigation into the application of pervasive, embedded networks to support multi-robot tasks. In this work we use a new a hardware platform, the GNATs, to ai...
