Abstract Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) have been focused on by research
efforts because of their extensive applications in scientific, commercial as well as military …

We review the use of factor graphs for the modeling and solving of large-scale inference
problems in robotics. Factor graphs are a family of probabilistic graphical models, other …

This paper presents a novel path planning algorithm for the autonomous exploration of
unknown space using aerial robotic platforms. The proposed planner employs a receding …

Autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) navigation and localization in underwater
environments is particularly challenging due to the rapid attenuation of Global Positioning …

This article presents an algorithm termed as multiobjective dynamic rapidly exploring
random (MOD-RRT*), which is suitable for robot navigation in unknown dynamic …

Conventional visual bridge inspection methods are time consuming and may put the
inspector in dangerous situations. Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) have been recently …

Although maritime transport is the backbone of world commerce, its digitalization lags
significantly behind when we consider some basic facts. This work verifies the state-of-the …

Within this paper a new path planning algorithm for autonomous robotic exploration and
inspection is presented. The proposed method plans online in a receding horizon fashion by …

Within this paper, a new fast algorithm that provides efficient solutions to the problem of
inspection path planning for complex 3D structures is presented. The algorithm assumes a …
