We explore the framework of permutation-based p-values for assessing the performance of
classifiers. In this paper we study two simple permutation tests. The first test assess whether …

Situational awareness in rescue operations can be provided by teams of autonomous
mobile robots. Human operators are required to teleoperate the current generation of mobile …

In this paper, we study the feature-based map merging problem in robot networks. While in
operation, each robot observes the environment and builds and maintains a local map …

Situational awareness in rescue operations can be provided by teams of autonomous
mobile robots. Human operators are required to teleoperate the current generation of mobile …

In this paper, we propose a stochastic differential equation-based exploration algorithm to
enable exploration in three-dimensional indoor environments with a payload-constrained …

A variety of autonomous exploration tasks have been successfully performed in several
types of environments using different types of robotic platforms. The robotic task, the …

Missions in extreme environments such as exploration and map** of chemical leakage,
radiation and high temperature are hazardous for human workers. Therefore, robotic …

In this article we present the complete details of the architecture and implementation of
Leaving Flatland, an exploratory project that attempts to surmount the challenges of closing …

Underwater Acoustic Sensor Networks (UW-ASNs) consist of stationary or mobile nodes
such as Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs), which may be classified as propeller …

For any robot to effectively traverse its environment, it requires a map and its location along
with the orientation within that map. Often a map may not be available if the robot is …
