Abstract Stage is a C++ software library that simulates multiple mobile robots. Stage version 2, as the simulation backend for the Player/Stage system, may be the most commonly use...
A new approach to building robots with anticipatory behavior is presented. This approach is based on analogy with a single episode from the past experience of the robot. The AMBR m...

Children's perceptions and evaluations of different robot designs are an important unexplored area within robotics research considering that many robots are specifically desi...
: Human-Robot Interaction (HRI), based on already well-researched Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), has been under vigorous scrutiny since recent developments in robot technology. ...
In this paper we study the time evolution of the position estimates' covariance in Cooperative Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (C-SLAM), and obtain analytical upper boun...
Abstract-- This paper describes an on-line algorithm for multirobot simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM). We take as our starting point the single-robot Rao-Blackwellized p...
We propose a new `Mark-Ant-Walk' algorithm for robust and efficient covering of continuous domains by ant-like robots with very limited capabilities. The robots can mark plac...

Robots must complete their tasks in spite of unreliable actuators and limited, noisy sensing. In this paper, we consider the information requirements of such tasks. What sensing a...
