We present a computational framework and experimental setup for deployment of
autonomous cars in a miniature Robotic Urban-Like Environment (RULE). The specifications …

To incorporate robots into society, they must be able to perform complex tasks while
interacting with the world around them in a safe and dependable manner. The recent …

The design of autonomous vehicles includes obstacle detection and avoidance, route
planning, speed control, etc. However, there is a lack of an explicitely representation of the …

This paper focuses on development of a motion planning strategy for car-like vehicles in
dynamic urban-like scenarios. The strategy can be summarized as a search for a collision …

Over the past years, there has been a tremendous progress in the area of robot navigation.
Most of the systems developed thus far, however, are restricted to indoor scenarios, non …

This video presents the Autonomous City Explorer (ACE) project. Its goal was to create a
robot capable of navigating unknown urban environments without the use of GPS data or …

The growing number of vehicles saturates cities in terms of congestion and pollution. A
Cybernetic Transportation System (CTS) appears to be a way to resolve those problems …

This paper presents some of the developments we made with the goal of allowing a friendly
control and simulation of a large number of autonomous agents based in behavior in …

This paper presents a functional system architecture for an automated vehicle. It provides an
overall, generic structure that is independent of a specific implementation of a particular …

In this paper, an approach is presented that allows a robot to navigate in an urban
environment by following natural language route instructions. In this situation, neither maps …
