Search and rescue (SAR) operations can take significant advantage from supporting
autonomous or teleoperated robots and multi-robot systems. These can aid in mapping and …

Autonomous or teleoperated robots have been playing increasingly important roles in civil
applications in recent years. Across the different civil domains where robots can support …

We study the problem of optimally choosing bearing measurement locations for localizing a
stationary target in minimum time. The targets are transmitting radio tags, and bearing …

This paper presents the Squirtle, an Autonomous Surface Vehicle (ASV) for autonomous
navigation and capable of manoeuvring in tight river environments. Its main features include …

In this paper, we study a problem encountered during our ongoing efforts to locate radio-
tagged fish aggregations with robots. The problem lies at the intersection of search-based …

This paper addresses a fundamental search problem in which a searcher subject to time
and energy constraints tries to find a mobile target. The target's motion is modeled as a …

This paper studies the problem of searching for an unknown moving target in a bounded two-
dimensional convex area with a mobile robot. A key component of designing a search …

This paper introduces first results of a joint research project between Taltech University and
Industrial partners. The goal was to develop a universal autonomous surface vessel (ASV) …

We study a search problem motivated by our ongoing work on finding radio-tagged invasive
fish with an Autonomous Surface Vehicle (ASV). We focus on settings where the fish tend to …

A new era of robotics has begun. In this era, robots are coming out of simple, structured
environments (such as factory floors) into the real world. They are no longer performing …
