— As mobile robots become increasingly autonomous over extended periods of time, opportunities arise for their use on repetitive tasks. We define and implement behaviors for a c...
— The probability of finding alive a person buried by a snow avalanche decreases dramatically with time. The best chance for the victims is to carry an avalanche beacon or ARVA ...
- Exploration is the fundamental task of guiding a robot autonomously during mapping so that it covers the entire environment with its sensors. In the frontier-based exploration, a...
— This paper describes an off-line, iterative algorithm for simultaneous localization and mapping within large indoor environments. The proposed approach is based on the idea of ...
– Although below-knee prostheses have been commercially available for some time, today’s devices are completely passive, and consequently, their mechanical properties remain fi...
