Abstract—Localization, which is the determination of one’s location in a known terrain, is a fundamental task for autonomous robots. This paper presents several new basic theor...
— Planetary surface exploration rovers must accurately and efficiently predict their mobility on natural, rough terrain. Most approaches to mobility prediction assume precise a p...
—This paper presents the Axel robotic rover which has been designed to provide robust and flexible access to extreme extra-planetary terrains. Axel is a lightweight 2wheeled vehi...

We present a method to populate very large terrains with very detailed features such as roads, rivers, lakes and fields. These features can be interactively edited, and the landsc...
We study the complexity and the I/O-efficient computation of flow on triangulated terrains. We present an acyclic graph, the descent graph, that enables us to trace flow paths in ...

Terrain rendering is an important factor in the rendering of virtual scenes. If they are large and detailed, digital terrains can represent a huge amount of data and therefore of ...
