We present a practical approach to global motion planning and terrain assessment for ground robots in generic three‐dimensional (3D) environments, including rough outdoor …
Using camera sensors for ground robot Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) has many benefits over laser-based approaches, such as the low cost and higher …
This paper describes our experience in designing, developing and deploying systems for supporting human–robot teams during disaster response. It is based on R&D performed in …

Hybrid driving-stepping locomotion is an effective approach for navigating in a variety of environments. Long, sufficiently even distances can be quickly covered by driving while …
Teams of UGVs patrolling harsh and complex 3D environments can experience interference and spatial conflicts with one another. Neglecting the occurrence of these events crucially …
Legged and wheeled locomotion are two standard methods used by robots to perform navigation. Combining them to create a hybrid legged-wheeled locomotion results in …
Mobile robots, be it autonomous or teleoperated, require stable communication with the base station to exchange valuable information. Given the stochastic elements in radio signal …
Navigation and exploration in 3D environments is still a challenging task for autonomous robots that move on the ground. Robots for Search and Rescue missions must deal with …
