— 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...
Abstract— In this paper we describe the use of automatic exploration for autonomous mapping of outdoor scenes. We describe a real-time SLAM implementation along with an autonomou...
Localization is the problem of determining the position of a mobile robot from sensor data. Most existing localization approaches are passive, i.e., they do not exploit the opport...
— The success of NASA’s Mars Exploration Rovers has demonstrated the important benefits that mobility adds to planetary exploration. Very soon, mission requirements will impos...
