— Minimum distance localization is the problem of finding the shortest possible path for a robot to eliminate ambiguity regarding its position in the environment. We consider th...
We address the problem of minimum distance localization in environments that may contain self-similarities. A mobile robot is placed at an unknown location inside a ¢¤£ self-sim...
We study a form of the pursuit-evasion problem, in which one or more searchers must move through a given environment so as to guarantee detection of any and all evaders, which can...

We consider problems of geometric exploration and selfdeployment for simple robots that can only sense the combinatorial (non-metric) features of their surroundings. Even with suc...
As computer controlled entities are set to move and explore more complex environments they need to be able to perform navigation tasks, like finding minimal cost routes. Much wor...
