TL;DR: The newest member of the Mars rover family will have the ability to autonomously approach and inspect a target and automatically detect interesting scientific events.

TL;DR: An overview of the Coupled Layered Architecture for Robotic Autonomy (CLARAty) is presented, which develops a framework for generic and reusable robotic components that can be adapted to a number of heterogeneous robot platforms.

TL;DR: The hardware design and software algorithms of RoboSimian are presented, a statically stable quadrupedal robot capable of both dexterous manipulation and versatile mobility in difficult terrain, demonstrating its ability to perform disaster recovery tasks in degraded human environments.

TL;DR: An overview of the Coupled Layered Architecture for Robotic Autonomy (CLARAty) is presented, which develops a framework for generic and reusable robotic components that can be adapted to a number of heterogeneous robot platforms.

TL;DR: A fully integrated system for detecting, localizing, and tracking pedestrians from a moving vehicle that can reliably detect upright pedestrians to a range of 40 m in lightly cluttered urban environments and on a diverse set of datasets with groundtruth in outdoor environments with varying degrees of pedestrian density and clutter.
