As humans and mobile robots increasingly coexist in public spaces, their close proximity demands that robots navigate following navigation strategies similar to those exhibited by humans. This could be achieved by learning directly from human demonstration trajectories in a machine learning framewor…
Humans and mobile robots will be increasingly cohabiting in the same environments, which has lead to an increase in studies on human robot interaction (HRI). One important topic in these studies is the development of robot navigation algorithms that are socially compliant to humans navigating in the…
We present field experiment results of ocean plume surveys conducted with a robotic platform. In our experiments, Rhodamine dye was used to generate a chemical plume in a coastal environment, and an unmanned surface vessel equipped with fluorometer sensors was deployed to conduct plume surveys. We p…
Using autonomous mobile robots to dynamically track oil plume propagation in ocean environments is challenging. Based on a model of advection-diffusion equation that describes point-source pollution propagation in marine environments, we have previously proposed a model-based estimator-controller de…
