We present a self-valuing learning technique which is capable of learning how to grasp unfamiliar objects and generalize the learned abilities. The learning system consists of two...
Numerous upcoming NASA misions need to land safely and precisely on planetary bodies. Accurate and robust state estimation during the descent phase is necessary. Towards this end,...

We present a multiple view algorithm for vision based landing of an unmanned aerial vehicle. Our algorithm is based on our recent results in multiple view geometry which exploit t...
An omnidirectional platform with an Active Offset Split Caster (ASOC) is described and its ability to operate on non-ideal floors is studied. It is shown that all of its driven wh...
