Practical robot designs must strike a compromise between fabrication/manufacture cost and anticipated execution performance. Compared to parsimonious designs, more capable (and hence more expensive) robots generally achieve their ends with greater efficiency. This paper examines how the roboticist m…
We wish to minimize the information that a robot maintains to carry out its task. Filters are one way to keep stored state consistent with sensed values, though they may also capture some information about the structure of the world that the robot inhabits. This paper builds on prior work on (improp…
For a given robot and a given task, this paper addresses questions about which modifications may be made to the robotâs suite of sensors without impacting the robotâs behavior in completing its task. Though this is an important design-time question, few principled methods exist for providing a d…
