— This paper reports the analytical development and preliminary experimental evaluation of a class of exact nonlinear full state model-based observers for underwater vehicle navi...
— In this paper, we present an Extended Kalman Filter (EKF)-based algorithm for real-time vision-aided inertial navigation. The primary contribution of this work is the derivatio...
— Portable, modular and extensible software allows robotics researchers to pool their resources by sharing algorithms, thus advancing research in the field of robotics at a fast...
Abstract— In this paper, simultaneous localisation and mapping (SLAM) is combined with landmark recognition to close large loops in unstructured, outdoor environments. Camera and...
— For certain applications, field robotic systems require small size for cost, weight, access, stealth or other reasons. Small size results in constraints on critical resources s...
— This paper introduces a model-based approach to estimating longitudinal wheel slip and detecting immobilized conditions of autonomous mobile robots operating on outdoor terrain...
—The CCD camera and the 2D laser range finder are widely used for motion estimation and 3D reconstruction. With their own strengths and weaknesses, low-level fusion of these two ...
Abstract— In this paper, we describe a method for coordinating multiple robots in a pursuit-evasion domain. We examine the problem of multiple robotic pursuers attempting to loca...
— The polychaete annelid marine worms propel themselves in a variety of challenging locomotion environments by a unique form of tail-to-head body undulations, combined with the s...
