— A fast and robust method for visual odometry based on the Fourier-Mellin Invariant (FMI) descriptor is presented. It extends previous FMI based approaches in two ways. First, a...
— In this paper, we propose a novel approach for the visual navigation of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV). In contrast to most available methods, a single perspective camera is us...

— By combining a low-order model of forecast errors, the extended Kalman filter, and classical continuous optimization, we develop an integrated methodology for planning mobile ...
Abstract—Experimental analyses of propulsion in freelyswimming fishes have led to the development of self-propelling pectoral and caudal fin robotic devices. These biorobotic mod...
