TL;DR: This paper presents the first ever amphibious transition from walking to swimming, and provides an overview of some of the basic capabilities of the vehicle and its associated sensors.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
A global topological map formed by local metric maps
Saul Simhon,Gregory Dudek +1 more
TL;DR: A method of mapping large scale static environments using a hybrid topological-metric model and denoted as islands of reliability because they provide accurate metric information of the environment is described.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Sketch interpretation and refinement using statistical models
Saul Simhon,Gregory Dudek +1 more
TL;DR: A two level hierarchy in which the refinement process is applied at: the curve level and the scene level of the Hierarchical Hidden Markov Model is presented.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Selecting targets for local reference frames
Saul Simhon,Gregory Dudek +1 more
TL;DR: Addresses the problem of seeking out parts of the environment that provide adequate features in order to perform robot localization by treating the problem as defining an evaluation criterion based on the usefulness of gathered information.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Pen stroke extraction and refinement using learned models
Saul Simhon,Gregory Dudek +1 more
TL;DR: A smart interface that automatically extracts and refines pen strokes from images of hand drawn sketches and automatically isolate and refine the individual strokes making up the sketch is presented.
