Combining Multi-robot Exploration and Rendezvous
—We consider the problem of exploring an unknown environment with a pair of mobile robots. The goal is to make the robots meet (or rendezvous) in minimum time such that there is ...

Learning Accuracy and Availability of Humans Who Help Mobile Robots
When mobile robots perform tasks in environments with humans, it seems appropriate for the robots to rely on such humans for help instead of dedicated human oracles or supervisors...
