In this paper a novel, Gibbs sampler-based algorithm is proposed for coordination of autonomous swarms. The swarm is modeled as a Markov random field (MRF) on a graph with a time-...
We present a novel approach to parameterize a mesh with disk topology to the plane in a shape-preserving manner. Our key contribution is a local/global algorithm, which combines a...

PAGODA (Policy And GOal Based Distributed Autonomy) is a modular architecture for specifying and prototyping autonomous systems. A PAGODA node (agent) interacts with its environme...
Abstract. We introduce a visual notation for local specification of concurrent components based on message sequence charts (MSCs). Each component is a finite-state machine whose ...
– This paper presents a localization strategy for vehicles in urban environments by mapping and updating natural landmarks provided by a 2D ladar (laser range scanner) when GPS d...
