For several years, our research group has been developing methods for automated modeling of 3D environments. In September, 2002, we were given the opportunity to demonstrate our m...
This paper describes initial results for a laser-based aerial mapping system. Our approach applies a real-time laser scan matching algorithm to 2-D range data acquired by a remote...
— This paper addresses the problem of simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) for teams of collaborating vehicles where the communication bandwidth is limited. We present a ...

Dynamic stability is an important issue for vehicles which move heavy loads, turn at speed, or operate on sloped terrain. In many cases, vehicles face more than one of these chall...
This paper studies the use of wireless Ethernet (Wi-Fi) as a localization sensor for mobile robots. Wi-Fi-based localization relies on the existence of one or more Wi-Fi devices i...
This paper describes our continued work of a unique robotics project, Comprehensive Access to Printed Materials (CAPM), within the context of libraries. As libraries provide a gro...
