— We present a novel approach which enables a mobile robot to estimate its trajectory in an unknown environment with long-range passive radio-frequency identification (RFID). Th...
— Radio signal-based localization and mapping is becoming more interesting as applications involving the collaboration between robots and static wireless devices are more common....
— Mobile robot tipover is a concern as it can create dangerous situations for operators and bystanders, cause collateral damage to the surrounding environment, and result in an a...

- This work presents the development of a brain computer interface as an alternative communication channel to be used in Robotics. It encompasses the implementation of an electroen...
Detection of multiple people is a key element for social robot design and it is a requirement for effective human-robot interaction. However, it is not an easy task, especially in...
This work investigates the use of semantic information to link ground level occupancy maps and aerial images. A ground level semantic map, which shows open ground and indicates th...
In this paper, a model-predictive trajectory-tracking control applied to a mobile robot is presented. Linearized tracking-error dynamics is used to predict future system behavior ...
A novel vision-based scheme is presented for driving a nonholonomic mobile robot to intercept a moving target. The proposed method has a two-level structure. On the lower level, t...
