— We present a study on the use of cooperative robots to execute a caging mission on the water’s surface. In particular, we consider the problem of using two robotic boats (und...
— Despite the great diversity of teleoperator designs and applications, their underlying control systems have many similarities. These similarities can be exploited to enable int...

— Radio signal-based localization and mapping is becoming more interesting as applications involving the collaboration between robots and static wireless devices are more common....
Abstract— Precise calibration of camera intrinsic and extrinsic parameters, while often useful, is difficult to obtain during field operation and presents scaling issues for mu...

— We consider the problem of grasping novel objects and its application to cleaning a desk. A recent successful approach applies machine learning to learn one grasp point in an i...
—There are many common error sources that influence mapping, e.g., salt and pepper noise as well as other effects occurring quite uniformly distributed over the map. On the oth...
Abstract— While the most accurate solution to off-line structure from motion (SFM) problems is undoubtedly to extract as much correspondence information as possible and perform g...

— Mobile wireless sensors in indoor environments will experience multipath fading, causing rapid variations in the capacity of the radio link. We present a strategy that increase...
Abstract— We present an integrated vision and robotic system that plays, and learns to play, simple physically-instantiated board games that are variants of TIC TAC TOE and HEXAP...
