— A modeling method for representing belt object deformation is proposed. Deformation of belt objects such as film circuit boards or flexible circuit boards must be estimated f...
Abstract— Many urban navigation applications (e.g., autonomous navigation, driver assistance systems) can benefit greatly from localization with centimeter accuracy. Yet such ac...

Abstract— We consider the task of omnidirectional path following for a quadruped robot: moving a four-legged robot along any arbitrary path while turning in any arbitrary manner....
Abstract— This paper proposes a simulation-based active policy learning algorithm for finite-horizon, partially-observed sequential decision processes. The algorithm is tested i...

Abstract— The conventional technique for dealing with dynamic objects in SLAM is to detect them and then either treat them as outliers [20][1] or track them separately using trad...
— Several recent algorithms have formulated the SLAM problem in terms of non-linear pose graph optimization. These algorithms are attractive because they offer lower computationa...
Abstract— This paper reviews a template for dynamical climbing originating in biology, explores its stability properties in a numerical model, and presents empirical data from a ...

— Matching laser range scans observed at different points in time is a crucial component of many robotics tasks, including mobile robot localization and mapping. While existing t...
— A simple approach for mobile robots to exploit multipath fading in order to improve received radio signal strength (RSS), is presented. The strategy is to sample the RSS at dis...
