Despite the tremendous progress in robotic hardware and in both sensorial and computing efficiencies the performance of contemporary autonomous robots is still far below that of ...
— In order to create consistent maps of unknown environments, a robot must be able to recognize when it has returned to a previously visited place. In this paper, we introduce an...
— Probabilistic sampling-based motion planners are unable to detect when no feasible path exists. A common heuristic is to declare a query infeasible if a path is not found in a ...

– Future space missions are expected to use robotic systems to assemble, inspect, and maintain large space structures in orbit. To carry out these tasks, robots need to know the ...
We introduce the Marco Polo Localization approach, where we apply sound as a tool for gathering range measurements between robots, and use those to solve a range-only Simultaneous...
