— Lie group symmetry in a mechanical system can lead to a dimensional reduction in its dynamical equations. Typically, the symmetries that one exploits are intrinsic to the mecha...
High-level controllers that operate robots in dynamic, uncertain domains are concerned with at least two reasoning tasks dealing with the effects of noisy sensors and effectors: T...
We present a novel geometric model for robot mapping based on shape. Shape similarity measure and matching techniques originating from computer vision are specially redesigned for ...
A central problem in artificial intelligence is to choose actions to maximize reward in a partially observable, uncertain environment. To do so, we must learn an accurate model of ...
— Three-dimensional digital terrain models are of fundamental importance in many areas such as the geo-sciences and outdoor robotics. Accurate modeling requires the ability to de...
