Next generation Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) will be required to robustly identify underwater targets for tasks such as inspection, localization and docking. Given their ...
The usability of mobile robots for surveillance, search and rescue missions can be significantly improved by intelligent functionalities decreasing the cognitive load on the opera...
Hot Metal Carriers (HMCs) are large forklift-type vehicles used to move molten metal in aluminium smelters. This paper reports on field experiments that demonstrate that HMCs can ...
Robots are slowly finding their way into the hands of search and rescue groups. One of the robots contributing to this effort is the Inuktun VGTV-Xtreme series by American Standar...
A novel method for estimating vehicle roll, pitch and yaw using machine vision and inertial sensors is presented that is based on matching images captured from an on-vehicle camer...
We propose a novel combination of techniques for robustly estimating the position of a mobile robot in outdoor environments using range data. Our approach applies a particle filte...
In this paper, we present an experimental study of strategies for maintaining end-to-end communication links for tasks such as surveillance, reconnaissance, and target search and ...
