Randomized Robot-Assisted Relocation of Sensors for Coverage Repair in Wireless Sensor Networks
—In wireless sensor networks (WSN), stochastic node dropping and unpredictable node failure greatly impair coverage, creating sensing holes, while locally redundant sensors exist...

Mechanics of Flexible Needles Robotically Steered through Soft Tissue
The tip asymmetry of a bevel-tip needle results in the needle naturally bending when it is inserted into soft tissue. This enables robotic needle steering, which can be used in me...

Analytic error variance predictions for planar vehicles
— Path planning algorithms that incorporate risk and uncertainty need to be able to predict the evolution of pathfollowing error statistics for each candidate plan. We present an...

Theoretical analysis of three bio-inspired plume tracking algorithms
— We derive the theoretical performance of three bio-inspired odor source localization algorithms (casting, surgespiral and surge-cast) in laminar wind flow. Based on the geomet...

A nonlinear observer for 6 DOF pose estimation from inertial and bearing measurements
— This paper considers the problem of estimating pose from inertial and bearing-only vision measurements. We present a non-linear observer that evolves directly on the special Eu...
