Abstract— We compare two well-known algorithms for locating odor sources in environments with a main wind flow. Their plume tracking performance is tested through systematic exp...
— Wire-driven parallel robots are special types of Gough-Stewart platform in which the rigid extensible legs are substituted by extensible wires. Usually wire length change is ob...
Abstract— We propose a novel online framework for detecting moving shadows in video sequences using statistical learning techniques. In this framework, Support Vector Machines ar...
— We describe self-assembling robot arm systems composed of active modular robots and passive bars. We present a case study where the robotic module is the Shady3D robot and the ...
— Service robots designed for domestic settings need to navigate in an environment that they have to share with their users. Thus, they have to be able to report their current st...
Abstract— This paper presents coverage algorithms for mobile sensor networks in which agents have limited power to move. Rather than making use of a constrained optimization tech...
