Value-Based Communication Preservation for Mobile Robots
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2003)
Value-Based Communication Preservation (VBCP) is a behavior-based,
computationally efficient approach to maintaining line-of-sight RF communication
between members of robot teams in the context of other tasks. The goal ...
A Framework for Situation-Based Social Interaction
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2006)
This paper presents a theoretical framework for
computationally representing social situations in a robot. This
work is based on interdependence theory, a social psychological
theory of interaction and social situation ...
Noise Maps for Acoustically Sensitive Navigation
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2004)
More and more robotic applications are equipping robots with microphones to improve the sensory information
available to them. However, in most applications the auditory task is very low-level, only processing data and ...
Efficient Particle Filter-Based Tracking of Multiple Interacting Targets Using an MRF-based Motion Model
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2003)
We describe a multiple hypothesis particle filter
for tracking targets that will be influenced by the proximity
and/or behavior of other targets. Our contribution is to show
how a Markov random field motion prior, built ...
Reactive Speed Control System Based on Terrain Roughness Detection
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2004)
Autonomous outdoor navigation requires the ability to discriminate among different types of terrain. A non-trivial problem is to manage the robot's speed based on terrain roughness. This paper presents a speed control ...
Using Genetic Algorithms to Learn Reactive Control Parameters for Autonomous Robotic Navigation
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 1994)
This paper explores the application of genetic algorithms to the learning of local robot navigation behaviors for reactive control systems. Our approach evolves reactive control systems in various environments, thus creating ...
Io, Ganymede and Callisto - a Multiagent Robot Trash-Collecting Team
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 1995)
Georgia Tech won the Office Cleanup Event at the 1994 AAAI Mobile Robot Competition with a multi-robot cooperating team. This paper describes the design and implementation of these reactive trash-collecting robots, including ...
Concurrent Filtering and Smoothing: A Parallel Architecture for Real-Time Navigation and Full Smoothing
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2014)
We present a parallelized navigation architecture that is capable of
running in real-time and incorporating long-term loop closure constraints
while producing the optimal Bayesian solution. This architecture splits
the ...
RIGOR: Reusing Inference in Graph Cuts for generating Object Regions
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2014-06)
Popular figure-ground segmentation algorithms generate a pool of boundary-aligned segment proposals that can be used in subsequent object recognition engines. These
algorithms can recover most image objects with high ...
The Secrets of Salient Object Segmentation
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2014-06)
In this paper we provide an extensive evaluation of fixation prediction and salient object segmentation algorithms
as well as statistics of major datasets. Our analysis identifies serious design flaws of existing salient ...
