Behavioral operations research has proliferated greatly over the decade since its first formal
review in 2006. The growth of the field warrants an objective map** of contributions to the …

A comprehensive survey of artificial intelligence algorithms and programming organization
for robot systems, combining theoretical rigor and practical applications. This textbook offers …

Localization, that is the estimation of a robot's location from sensor data, is a fundamental
problem in mobile robotics. This papers presents a version of Markov localization which …

To date, a large number of algorithms to solve the problem of autonomous exploration and
map** has been presented. However, few efforts have been made to compare these …

Integrated exploration strategy advocated in this paper refers to a tight coupling between the
tasks of localization, map**, and motion control and the effect of this. coupling on the …

We propose that an important aspect of human-robot interaction is perspective-taking. We
show how perspective-taking occurs in a naturalistic environment (astronauts working on a …

When we begin to build and interact with machines or robots that either look like humans or
have human functionalities and capabilities, then people may well interact with their human …

In conversation, people often use spatial relationships to describe their environment, eg,"
There is a desk in front of me and a doorway behind it," and to issue directives, eg," go …

In this paper, we describe a joint approach for robot navigation with collision avoidance,
pose estimation and map building with a 2.5 D Photonic Mixer Device (PMD)-camera …

How do children learn how to play hide and seek? At age 3-4, children do not typically have
perspective taking ability, so their hiding ability should be extremely limited. We show …
