In this paper we present a dynamic data structure, useful for robot navigation in an unknown, simplyconnected planar environment. The guiding philosophy in this work is to avoid t...
A common problem in most active contour methods is that the recursive searching scheme can only return a local optimal solution. Furthermore, the internal energy of the snake is n...
Abstract. Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) is a paradigm that employs a set of cooperating agents to solve functions or obtain good solutions for combinatorial optimization problems. ...
Abstract. This paper investigates the problem of autonomously allocating a large number of independent, equal sized tasks on a distributed heterogeneous grid-like platform, using o...
The problem of concurrent mapping and localization has received considerable attention in the mobile robotics community. Existing approachescan largely be grouped into two distinc...
