The topic of this review is geometric registration in robotics. Registration algorithms
associate sets of data into a common coordinate system. They have been used extensively …

Disaster robotics has become a research area in its own right, with several reported cases of
successful robot deployment in actual disaster scenarios. Most of these disaster …

Agri-Food is the largest manufacturing sector in the UK. It supports a food chain that
generates over {\pounds} 108bn pa, with 3.9 m employees in a truly international industry …

Abstract Cyanobacterial Harmful Algal Blooms (CyanoHABs) in lakes and reservoirs have
increased substantially in recent decades due to different environmental factors. Its early …

In this paper, we first discuss the challenges related to habitat monitoring and review
possible robotic solutions. Then, we propose a framework to perform terrestrial habitat …

Many information gathering problems require determining the set of points, for which an
unknown function takes value above or below some given threshold level. As a concrete …

Autonomous mobile robots are increasingly employed to take measurements for
environmental monitoring, but planning informative, measurement‐rich paths through large …

Robotic sampling is attractive in many field robotics applications that require persistent
collection of physical samples for ex-situ analysis. Examples abound in the earth sciences in …

Gliding robotic fish, which is a hybrid of underwater gliders and robotic fish, is energy
efficient and highly maneuverable and holds strong promise for long-duration monitoring of …

We present a new algorithm, truncated variance reduction (TruVaR), that treats Bayesian
optimization (BO) and level-set estimation (LSE) with Gaussian processes in a unified …
