— A mobile robot operating in an urban environment has to navigate around obstacles and hazards. Though a significant amount of work has been done on detecting obstacles, not mu...
— Most work on the simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) problem assumes the frequent availability of dense information about the environment such as that provided by a la...
— The recent progress in robot mapping (or SLAM) algorithms has focused on estimating either point features (such as landmarks) or grid-based representations. Both of these repre...
— In this paper we present a novel method for robot path planning based on learning motion patterns. A motion pattern is defined as the path that results from applying a set of ...
The Self-Mobile Space Manipulator (SM2) has evolved to adapt to the new pre-integrated I-beam structure of the Space Station Freedom (SSF). In this paper, we first briefly overvie...
