Why is probabilistic roadmap (PRM) planning probabilistic? How does the probability measure used for sampling a robot’s configuration space affect the performance of a PRM plan...
ys when planning meant searching for a sequence of abstract actions that satisfied some symbolic predicate. Robots can now learn their own representations through statistical infe...
An open problem in Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) is the development of algorithms which scale with the size of the environment. A few promising methods exploit the ...
We postulate that multi-wheel statically-stable mobile robots for operation in human environments are an evolutionarydead end. Robots of this class tall enough to interact meaning...
NASA’s Mars Exploration Rovers (MER) have collected a great diversity of geological science results, thanks in large part to their surface mobility capabilities. The six wheel r...
