To operate successfully in indoor environments, mobile robots must be able to localize themselves. Most current localization algorithms lack flexibility, autonomy, and often optim...
Any model of the world a robot constructs on the basis of its sensor data is necessarily both incomplete, due to the robot’s limited window on the world, and uncertain, due to s...
Learning patterns of human behavior from sensor data is extremely important for high-level activity inference. We show how to extract a person’s activities and significant plac...
Wide-area sensor infrastructures, remote sensors, RFIDs, and wireless sensor networks yield massive volumes of disparate, dynamic, and geographically distributed data. As such sen...

Pervasive applications rely on data captured from the physical world through sensor devices. Data provided by these devices, however, tend to be unreliable. The data must, therefor...

We derive categories directly from robot sensor data to address the symbol grounding problem. Unlike model-based approaches where human intuitive correspondences are sought betwee...

: Since sensor nodes operate on batteries, energy-efficient mechanisms for gathering sensor data are indispensable in prolonging the lifetime of a sensor network as long as possibl...
Advances in technology have enabled new approaches for sensing the environment and collecting data about the world. Once collected, sensor readings can be assembled into data stre...

A sensor's data loss or corruption, aka sensor data missing, is a common phenomenon in modern wireless sensor networks. It is more severe for multi-hop sensor network (MSN) a...

In Mobile Sensor Network (MSN) applications, sensors move to increase the area of coverage and/or to compensate for the failure of other sensors. In such applications, loss or cor...
