In order to populate virtual cities, it is necessary to specify the behaviour of dynamic entities such as pedestrians or car drivers. Since a complete mental model based on vision...
— Robot search and rescue is a time critical task, i.e. a large terrain has to be explored by multiple robots within a short amount of time. The efficiency of exploration depend...

This paper deals with the problem of determining the position and orientation of an autonomous guided vehicle (AGV) by fusing odometry with the information provided by a vision sys...
Autonomous robots need to track objects. Object tracking relies on predefined robot motion and sensory models. Tracking is particularly challenging if the robots can actuate on th...
A virtual organization (VO) is a dynamic collection of entities (individuals, enterprises, and information resources) collaborating on some computational activity. VOs are an emer...
