Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.Visual teach‐and‐repeat (VTR) navigation allows robots to learn and follow routes without building a full metric map. We show that navigation accuracy for VTR can be improved by integrating a topological map with error‐drift correction based on stereo vision.

Social capital and public expenditure in Australia [PDF]
New South Wales Public Health Bulletin, 2002 In this paper, attention is focused on the impact of changes in public expenditure on health and education services. Australia's total expenditure on health care has remained roughly constant at around 8 per cent of gross domestic product (GDP) for the past two decades, comparable to most other developed countries with the exception of the United ...

Continual Learning for Multimodal Data Fusion of a Soft Gripper
Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.Models trained on a single data modality often struggle to generalize when exposed to a different modality. This work introduces a continual learning algorithm capable of incrementally learning different data modalities by leveraging both class‐incremental and domain‐incremental learning scenarios in an artificial environment where labeled data is ...

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.Automated poultry processing lines still rely on humans to lift slippery, easily bruised carcasses onto a shackle conveyor. Deformability, anatomical variance, and hygiene rules make conventional suction and scripted motions unreliable. We present ChicGrasp, an end‐to‐end hardware‐software co‐designed imitation learning framework, to offer a ...
