— The probability of finding alive a person buried by a snow avalanche decreases dramatically with time. The best chance for the victims is to carry an avalanche beacon or ARVA ...
- Collision detection is a critical module in many applications such as computer graphics, robot motion planning, physical simulation, CAD/CAM, and molecular modeling. Many efficie...
— Current approaches to distributed control involving many robots generally restrict interactions to pairs of robots within a threshold distance. While this allows for provable s...
Abstract— Many robotics applications require a human operator to monitor multiple robots that collaborate to achieve the operator’s goals. Most approaches to such monitoring fo...
— This paper introduces an incremental method for “Structure From Motion” of complex scenes from a video sequence. More precisely, we estimate the 3D positions of the viewed ...

— In this paper we address the problem of generating input plans to steer complex dynamical systems in an obstaclefree environment. Plans considered admit a finite description l...

— We present a probabilistic framework for visual correspondence, inertial measurements and Egomotion. First, we describe a simple method based on Gabor filters to produce corre...
— We consider the problem of path planning above a polyhedral terrain and present a new algorithm that for any p ≥ 1, computes a (c + ε)-approximation to the Lp-shortest path ...
— Mobile robots do not adequately represent the objects in their environment; this weakness hinders a robot’s ability to utilize past experience. In this paper, we describe a s...
Abstract— Probabilistic roadmaps (PRM) have been demonstrated to be very promising for planning paths for robots with high degrees of freedom in complex 3D workspaces. In this pa...
