Bridging the Gap between High-Level Reasoning and Low-Level Control
We present a formal framework where the action description language C+ is used to provide multiple robots with high-level reasoning in the style of cognitive robotics. We show the ...

Dynamic Decentralized Area Partitioning for Cooperating Cleaning Robots
If multiple cleaning robots are used to cooperatively clean a larger room, e.g. an airport, the room must be partitioned among the robots. This paper describes a dynamic and decen...

Linear 2D Localization and Mapping for Single and Multiple Robot Scenarios
We show how to recover 2D structure and motion linearly in order to initialize Simultaneous Mapping and Localization (SLAM) for bearings-only measurements and planar motion. The m...
