Real Conversion of GIS Contour Maps into Surface Disigital Elevation Models for Robotic Surveying
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2011-10)
With the advent of new technologies, robotic surveying systems are being developed to facilitate the collection of ground-based information to validate and complement data collected by traditional and satellite-based ...
A Learning Approach to Enable Locomotion of Multiple Robotic Agents Operating in Natural Terrain Environments
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2008)
This paper presents a methodology that utilizes soft computing approaches to enable locomotion of multiple legged robotic agents operating in natural terrain environments. For individual robotic control, the locomotion ...
Improvements To Satellite-Based Albedo Measurements Using In Situ Robotic Surveying Techniques
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2009-04)
Estimation-informed, Resource-aware Robot Navigation for Environmental Monitoring Applications
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2013-05)
Environmental monitoring of spatially-distributed geo-physical processes (e.g., temperature, pressure, or humidity) requires efficient sampling schemes, particularly, when employing an autonomous mobile agent to execute ...
Calibration and Validation of Earth-Observing Sensors Using Deployable Surface-Based Sensor Networks
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2010-12)
Satellite-based instruments are now routinely used to map the surface of the globe or monitor weather conditions. However, these orbital measurements of ground-based quantities are heavily influenced by external factors, ...
Adaptive Robot Navigation Protocol for Estimating Variable Terrain Elevation Data
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2011-10)
Efficiently measuring environmental phenomena (e.g., elevation, chemical composition, and mineral density) is a task typically reserved for the geoscience community. Recent robotic systems with the potential for addressing ...
Terrain Reconstruction of Glacial Surfaces via Robotic Surveying Techniques
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2012-12)
The capability to monitor natural phenomena using mobile sensing is a benefit to the Earth science community given the potentially large impact that we, as humans, can have on naturally occurring processes. Observable ...
Assistive Formation Maintenance for Human-Led Multi-Robot Systems
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2009-10)
In ground-based military maneuvers, group formations require flexibility when traversing from one point to the next. For a human-led team of semi-autonomous agents, a certain level of awareness demonstrated by the agents ...
A Hierarchical Strategy for Learning of Robot Walking Strategies in Natural Terrain Environments
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2007-10)
In this paper, we present a hierarchical methodology that learns new walking gaits autonomously while operating in an uncharted environment, such as on the Mars planetary surface or in the remote Antarctica environment. ...
