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...
Terrain maps, commonly used for updating elevation values of a moving object (i.e., a traveler), may be conveniently used for detecting and preventing collisions between the trave...
In this paper, we report on experiments with a core system for autonomous navigation in outdoor natural terrain. The system consists of three parts: a perception module which proc...
Often remote investigations use autonomous agents to observe an environment on behalf of absent scientists. Predictive exploration improves these systems’ efficiency with onboa...
