— Autonomous vehicle navigation in dynamic urban environments requires localization accuracy exceeding that available from GPS-based inertial guidance systems. We have shown prev...
— Building upon previous work that demonstrates the effectiveness of WiFi localization information per se, in this paper we contribute a mobile robot that autonomously navigates ...
Abstract— Reinforcement learning algorithms have been successfully applied in robotics to learn how to solve tasks based on reward signals obtained during task execution. These r...
— Through their ability to rapidly acquire aerial imagery, Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) have the potential to aid target search tasks. Many of the core algorithms which are us...

Abstract— Miniaturization of Programmable Matter is a major challenge. Much of the difficulty stems from size and power requirements of internal actuators. This paper demonstrat...
— In this paper, we propose a new projection operator for the redundancy framework based on a task function defined as the norm of the usual error. This projection operator allo...
— The detection of features from Light Detection and Ranging (LIDAR) data is a fundamental component of featurebased mapping and SLAM systems. Existing detectors tend to exploit ...
— The priorities of a climbing legged robot are to maintain a grasp on its climbing surface and to climb efficiently against the force of gravity. These priorities profoundly co...
