Current methods for off-road navigation using vehicle and terrain models to predict future vehicle response are limited by the accuracy of the models they use and can suffer if th...
— Few robot tasks require as forceful an interaction with the world as excavation. In order to effectively plan its actions, our robot excavator requires a method that allows it ...
Autonomous mobile robots need to adapt their behavior to the terrain over which they drive, and to predict the traversability of the terrain so that they can effectively plan thei...
