Abstract— This paper describes an efficient method for retrieving the 3-dimensional shape associated to novelties in the environment of an autonomous robot, which is equipped wi...
— We present a method for topological SLAM that specifically targets loop closing for edge-ordered graphs. Instead of using a heuristic approach to accept or reject loop closing...

Abstract— Map information is important for path planning and self-localization when mobile robots accomplish autonomous tasks. In unknown environments, mobile robots should gener...
— This paper models recent data in the field of postural coordination showing the existence of self-organized postural states, and transition between them, underlying suprapostu...

— We consider the problem of tracking multiple moving robots using noisy sensing of inter-robot and interbeacon distances. Sensing is local: there are three fixed beacons at kno...

—The wheel slip ratio is an important state variable in terramechanics research and the control of planetary rovers. Definitions of the slip ratio for a wheel with lugs and metho...
—This paper reports the challenges of developing multiple social robots that operate in a shopping mall. We developed a networked robot system that coordinates multiple social ro...

— We describe a distributed boundary detection algorithm suitable for use on multi-robot systems with dynamic network topologies. We assume that each robot has access to its loca...
— The ability of mobile robots to quickly and accurately analyze their dynamics is critical to their safety and efficient operation. In field conditions, significant uncertainty ...
