Using acoustic sensor technologies to create a more terrain capable unmanned ground vehicle [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Unmanned Ground Vehicle’s (UGV) have to cope with the most complex range of dynamic and variable obstacles and therefore need to be highly intelligent in order to cope with navigating in such a cluttered environment.

Cooperative caging using autonomous aquatic surface vehicles [PDF]

open access: yes2010 IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation, 2010
We present a study on the use of cooperative robots to execute a caging mission on the water's surface. In particular, we consider the problem of using two robotic boats (under-actuated autonomous surface vessels) connected with a floating rope, to ‘capture’ a floating object from a known location on the water's surface and 'shepherd' it to a ...
