In this paper we study the time evolution of the position estimates' covariance in Cooperative Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (C-SLAM), and obtain analytical upper boun...
A new approach for climbing hard vertical surfaces has been developed that allows a robot to scale concrete, stucco, brick and masonry walls without using suction or adhesives. The...

We examine the design, control and performance of the Cobotic Hand Controller, a novel, six-degree-of-freedom, admittance controlled haptic display. A highly geared admittance arch...

Abstract-- This paper describes an on-line algorithm for multirobot simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM). We take as our starting point the single-robot Rao-Blackwellized p...
Future space applications will require robotic systems to assemble, inspect, and maintain large space structures in orbit. For effective planning and control, robots will need to ...
ABSTRACT. We introduce tools from computational homology to verify coverage in an idealized sensor network. Our methods are unique in that, while they are coordinate-free and assum...
