A basic issue of mobile robotics is generating environment maps automatically. Outdoor terrain is challenging since the ground is uneven and the surrounding is structured irregularly. In earlier work, we have introduced 6D SLAM (Simultaneous Localization and Mapping) as a method to taking all six DOF of robot poses (x, y, z translation; roll, pitch, yaw angles) into account. This paper adds to ...

There is an overwhelming bias in plant biogeography and ecology towards ‘vascular’ or ‘higher’ plants. Consequently, paradigms presented in key textbooks (Pears, 1985; Lomolino et al., 2005) represent a consensus of evidence that is limited in its scope to an estimated 14% of the world’s ‘botanical’ biodiversity (e.g. including plant and fungal species, based on estimates of global richness in ...

The history of educational reform is littered with examples of failed efforts to reform schools through the integration of technology. In many cases, this lack of success can be attributed to an over-reliance on the technology and a failure to ground the work in meaningful learning experiences. In this paper, the potential for GIS-enhanced inquiry to meet educational standards in science, mathe...
