— This paper describes the use of natural language route descriptions in the mobile robot navigation domain. Guided by corpus analysis and earlier work on coarse qualitative rout...
— In many application areas, robots most suitably employ classical PID controllers and the like. In the field of autonomous mobile robots, however, further adaptation features a...
Shift-map image processing is a new framework based on energy minimization over a large space of labels. The optimization utilizes α-expansion moves and iterative refinement ove...
Abstract. We introduce the knowledge-based image interpretation system GeoAIDA and give examples for an image operator, extracting trees from aerial imagery. Moreover we present a ...
The application of robots in critical missions in hazardous environments requires the development of reliable or fault tolerant manipulators. In this paper, we define fault tolera...
