The ability to represent knowledge about space and its position therein is crucial for a mobile robot. To this end, topological and semantic descriptions are gaining popularity fo...
— We present an outdoor terrain planner that finds near optimal trajectories under dynamic and kinematic constraints. The planner can find solutions in close to real time by re...
For mobile robots to assist people in everyday life, they must be easy to instruct. This paper describes a gesture-based interface for human robot interaction, which enables peopl...

ys when planning meant searching for a sequence of abstract actions that satisfied some symbolic predicate. Robots can now learn their own representations through statistical infe...
— We consider the problem of multiple mobile sensor agents tracking the position of one or more moving targets. In our formulation, each agent maintains a target estimate, and ea...
