We consider the NP-hard Stochastic Orienteering Problem, where the goal is to navigate
between start and end vertices in a graph, maximizing the sum of rewards for visited vertices …

Purpose This paper aims to solve the problem between detection efficiency and
performance in grasp commodities rapidly. A fast detection and grasping method based on …

We study a stochastic version of the classic orienteering problem where the time to traverse
an edge is a continuous random variable. For a given temporal deadline B, our solution …

As robots become ubiquitous in our everyday lives, they are more and more often assigned
complex tasks involving multiple, simultaneous objectives. Moreover, efficiency, envisioned …

Localization is a key challenge in many robotics applications. In this work we explore LIDAR-
based global localization in both urban and natural environments and develop a method …

Contemporary vineyard management is in dire need of a way to make remote sensing data
useful for irrigation purposes on the fine-grain scale. A robot can be used to adjust irrigation …

Wireless communication with no range and bandwidth limitations is desired for coordination
and information sharing among multiple robots. However, the perfect communication is not …

Robots are becoming more of a part of our daily lives. They have become an extension of
some our human capabilities and there is a need to develop control algorithms that …
