— This paper addresses the problem of classifying places in the environment of a mobile robot into semantic categories. We believe that semantic information about the type of pla...
Abstract— This paper presents a technique for the Simultaneous Calibration of Action and Sensor Models (SCASM) on a mobile robot. While previous approaches to calibration make us...
— We propose a novel modular underwater robot which can self-reconfigure by stacking and unstacking its component modules. Applications for this robot include underwater monitor...

— This paper describes the dynamic modeling of linear object deformation based on differential geometry coordinates. Deformable linear objects such as cables and strings are wide...
– The Mars Exploration Rover (MER) Descent Image Motion Estimation System (DIMES) is the first autonomous machine vision system used to safely land a robotics payload on another ...

— Robotic motion planning requires configuration space exploration. In high-dimensional configuration spaces, a complete exploration is computationally intractable. Practical m...
— One of the principal guidelines in the design of haptic devices is to provide a suitable mechanical design that can improve control performance and the force-feedback fidelity...

- This paper introduces a modular, real-time, omnidirectional, active vision system, as well as a constructed prototype. By combining omnidirectional and active pan-tilt cameras, a...
— The last decade, sampling based planners like the Probabilistic Roadmap Method have proved to be successful in solving complex motion planning problems. We give a reachability ...
