— We are motivated by the prospect of automating microbial observing systems. To this end we have designed and built a robotic boat as part of a sensor network for monitoring aqu...
— In this paper we present a method for determining body orientation and pose information from laser scanner data using particle filtering with an adaptive modeling algorithm. A...

— We present an algorithm for underwater robots to track mobile targets, and specifically human divers, by detecting periodic motion. Periodic motion is typically associated wit...
Abstract—Autonomous robot navigation in unstructured outdoor environments is a challenging area of active research. The navigation task requires identifying safe, traversable pat...

— The concept of a mobile haptic interface for bimanual manipulations in 6 d.o.f. is presented. The design of this mobile haptic interface is based on a modular system consisting...
— This paper presents a new method allowing haptic feedback in molecular docking simulations using a minimization process. These simulations, classically used by the pharmaceutic...
— This paper addresses the problem of planning for goal directed navigation in the environment that contains a number of possible adversary locations. It first shows that common...
— This paper introduces box approximations as a new tool for path planning of closed-loop linkages. Box approximations are finite collections of rectangloids that tightly envelo...
Abstract— Localization and wheel slip estimation of a skidsteered mobile robot is challenging because of the complex wheel/ground interactions and kinematics constraints. In this...
— We present a Graph-based method for low-level segmentation of unfiltered 3D data. The core of this approach is based on the construction of a local neighborhood structure and ...
