Trajectory Reconstruction for Self-Localization and Map Building
We describe a method for the reconstruction of a driven trajectory of a mobile robot if the begin and end states of the trajectory are known, and intermediate readings from odomet...

Exploiting Physical Dynamics for Concurrent Control of a Mobile Robot
Conventionally, mobile robots are controlled through an action selection mechanism (ASM) that chooses among multiple proposed actions. This choice can be made in a variety of ways...

A Semi-supervised Method for Learning the Structure of Robot Environment Interactions
For a mobile robot to act autonomously, it must be able to construct a model of its interaction with the environment. Oates et al. developed an unsupervised learning method that pr...
