Abstract-We describe Localization-Space Trails (LOST), a method that enables a team of robots to navigate between places of interest in an initially unknown environment using a tra...
In this paper, we present a new approach to the problem of simultaneously localizing a group of mobile robots capable of sensing one another. Each of the robots collects sensor dat...
Abstract--With the services that autonomous robots are to provide becoming more demanding, the states that the robots have to estimate become more complex. In this article, we deve...

In this paper we want to propose the idea that some techniques used for animal training might be helpful for solving human robot interaction problems in the context of entertainme...
We present a new approach to the multi-robot path planning problem, where a number of robots are to change their positions through feasible motions in the same static environment....
After a brief review of the current research on multi-robot systems, the paper presents a path planning and control scheme for a cooperative three-robot system transferring/manipul...

We study the problem of computing the free space F of a simple legged robot called the spider robot. The body of this robot is a single point and the legs are attached to the body....
Human free will is a product of evolution and contributes to the success of the human animal. Useful robots will also require free will of a similar kind, and we will have to desi...
