— We describe a framework for finding and tracking “trails” for autonomous outdoor robot navigation. Through a combination of visual cues and ladar-derived structural inform...
Abstract— In performing various kinds of tasks, body representation is one of the most fundamental issues for physical agents (humans, primates, and robots). Especially during to...
— In this paper we address the joint problems of automated data acquisition and view planning for large–scale indoor and outdoor sites. Our method proceeds in two distinct stag...
— An important milestone for building affordable robots that can become widely popular is to address robustly the Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) problem with inexpe...
— An important problem in robotics is planning and selecting actions for goal-directed behavior in noisy uncertain environments. The problem is typically addressed within the fra...
