ACT Search and rescue robots often use tethers to provide power and communication, but tethers get caught on debris and small robots have difficulty with the added drag of the tet...
— Today, lightweight SLAM algorithms are needed in many embedded robotic systems. In this paper the Orthogonal SLAM (OrthoSLAM ) algorithm is presented and empirically validated....
— In this paper, we study the problem of going from a real-world, multi-agent system to the generation of control programs in an automatic fashion. In particular, a computer visi...

— This paper addresses the problem of registering the hexapedal robot, RHex, relative to a known set of beacons, by real-time visual servoing. A suitably constructed navigation f...
This paper addresses the following inspection problem: given a known workspace and a robot with vision capabilities compute a short path path for the robot such that each point on...
