The number of mobile robots with constrained computing resources that need to execute complex machine learning models has been increasing during the past decade. Commonly, these rely on edge infrastructure accessible over wireless communication heavy computational tasks. However, might become unavailable and, consequently, oblige execution tasks robot. This work focuses making it possible by re...

Reliability is a key factor for realizing safety guarantee of fully autonomous robot systems. In this paper, we focus on reliability in mobile localization. Monte Carlo localization (MCL) widely used However, it still difficult to its because there are no methods determining MCL estimate. This paper presents novel framework that enables robust localization, estimation, and quick relocalization,...

This paper describes how the safe mobile code technology can be integrated into the Intelligent Space environment. In the Intelligent Space, several Distributed Intelligent Network Devices communicate and share their information about a human environment. In this environment mobile robots can be controlled with mobile code technology. The mobile code is a program-component obtained from a remot...

We formulate the kinematic equations-of-motion of wheeled mobile robots incorporating conuentionaI, omnidirectional, and ball wheels. While our approach parallels the kinematic modeling of stationary manipulators, we extend the methodology to accommodate such special characteristics of wheeled mobile robots as multiple closed-link chains, higher-pair contact points between a wheel and a surface...
