Applications in mobile manipulation require sophisticated motion execution skills to address issues like redundancy resolution, reactive obstacle avoidance, and transitioning betw...
In this paper we present a system for topologically localizing a mobile robot using color histogram matching of omnidirectional images. The system is intended for use as a navigat...
— ODIS is an omni-directional mobile robot designed to autonomously or semi-autonomously inspect automobiles in a parking lot. Periodically, its position and orientation referenc...

We propose a method for learning models of people’s motion behaviors in an indoor environment. As people move through their environments, they do not move randomly. Instead, the...
We develop a method for generating smooth trajectories for a set of mobile robots. Given two end configurations, by tuning one parameter, the user can choose an interpolating tra...
Locating arteries hidden beneath superficial tissue can be a difficult task in minimally invasive surgery. This paper reports the development of a system that finds the paths of a...
