Abstract— Most unmanned aerial robots use a Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS), such as GPS, GLONASS, and Galileo, for their navigation. However, from time to time the GNS...
— This paper describes the design and testing of a technique to enable long-range autonomous navigation using a stereo camera as the only sensor. During a learning phase, the rov...
Abstract— In this paper, we address the problem of determining the relative position and orientation (pose) of two robots navigating in 2D, based on known egomotion and noisy rob...
—Space exploitation will require efficient techniques for manipulating passive objects on orbit. This work presents a manipulation concept that utilizes both the on-off thruste...
—One of the grand challenges of self-reconfiguring modular robotics is the assembly of a functional system from thousands of components. However, to date, only systems comprised ...
— In a previous paper [3], we proposed a new way to achieve visual servoing. Rather than minimizing the error between the position of two set of geometric features, we proposed t...
Abstract— We consider the problem of multi-robot coordination subject to constraints on the configuration. Specifically, we examine the case in which a mobile network of robots...
— How to make vision system work robustly under dynamic light conditions is still a challenging research focus in computer/robot vision community. In this paper, a novel camera p...
Abstract— We propose a planning algorithm that allows usersupplied domain knowledge to be exploited in the synthesis of information feedback policies for systems modeled as parti...
