The emergence of portable computers and wireless technologies has introduced new challenges for middleware. Mobility brings new requirements and is becoming a key characteristic. M...
— Mobile robots have to detect and handle a variety of potential hazards to navigate autonomously. We present a real-time stereo vision based mapping algorithm for identifying an...
The problem of multi-robot patrol in adversarial environments has been gaining considerable interest during the recent years.In this problem, a team of mobile robots is required t...
— When an emergency occurs within a building, it may be initially safer to send autonomous mobile nodes, instead of human responders, to explore the area and identify hazards and...
Mobile ad-hoc wireless networks are established in improvised environments through the mutual cooperation of its participating nodes. These nodes often operate in a physically ins...
