— This paper describes a navigation system for autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) in partially structured environments, such as dams, harbors, marinas or marine platforms. A m...
In the dynamical systems approach to robot path planning both sensed and remembered information contribute to shape a nonlinear vector eld that governs the behavior of an autonomo...

Teams of autonomous vehicles (AVs) carry out missions in a number of fields such as space exploration and searchand-rescue. However, human supervision is still required to monito...
We present a method for synthesizing animations of autonomous space, water, and land-based vehicles in games or other interactive simulations. Controlling the motion of such vehic...
