Localization is one of the fundamental problems in mobile robotics. Without knowledge about their position mobile robots cannot e ciently carry out their tasks. In this paper we pr...
We develop a network of distributed mobile sensor systems as a solution to the emergency response problem. The mobile sensors are inside a building and they form a connected ad-ho...

An issue central to the navigation problem is memory. Traditional systems build symbolic maps of the world for navigational reference. Reactive methods, in contrast, eliminate or m...
Ships often use the coasts of continents for navigation in the absence of better tools such as GPS, since being close to land allows sailors to determine with high accuracy where ...
