  Efficient frontier detection for robot exploration
Keidar M., Kaminka G. International Journal of Robotics Research 33(2): 215-236, 2014.  Type: Article

Exploring unknown territory using multi-robots has numerous possible applications, especially where human intervention is difficult. Such applications include search and rescue, planetary explorations, military areas, and so on. Fronti...

  Gaussian process occupancy maps*
O’Callaghan S., Ramos F. International Journal of Robotics Research 31(1): 42-62, 2012.  Type: Article

The authors describe a new framework based on Gaussian processes (GPs) to produce occupancy maps. The method combines the regression accomplished by classic GPs with the probabilistic least-squares classification algorithm, to associat...

  Electro-osmotic propulsion of helical nanobelt swimmers
Hwang G., Braive R., Couraud L., Cavanna A., Abdelkarim O., Robert-Philip I., Beveratos A., Sagnes I., Haliyo S., Régnier S. International Journal of Robotics Research 30(7): 806-819, 2011.  Type: Article

Harvesting energy from the environment would be an important advantage for mobile micro- and nano-agents. Nature’s bacteria are mainly powered by chemical energy conversion due to chemotaxis. Recent developments of in vivo...

  Place-dependent people tracking
Luber M., Tipaldi G., Arras K. International Journal of Robotics Research 30(3): 280-293, 2011.  Type: Article

People detection and tracking is considered a part of the whole process of enabling an autonomous system to interact and adapt to real situations; this warrants great attention to it. This paper continues in the line of developing meth...

   Learning, planning, and control for quadruped locomotion over challenging terrain
Kalakrishnan M., Buchli J., Pastor P., Mistry M., Schaal S. International Journal of Robotics Research 30(2): 236-258, 2011.  Type: Article

Advancing the ability of a legged robot to traverse difficult terrains is a challenge. Even tests for such advanced engineering prototypes as the LittleDog quadruped usually take place on regular terrain. This paper presents an integra...

  The Epi.q-1 hybrid mobile robot
Quaglia G., Maffiodo D., Franco W., Appendino S., Oderio R. International Journal of Robotics Research 29(1): 81-91, 2010.  Type: Article

The Epi.q-1 is a very interesting small mobile robot. As an adaptable “wheel-legged” hybrid robot, it utilizes a locomotion system that combines the advantages of both wheeled and legged robots, which allows it to m...

  Nanofabrication, nanoinstrumentation and nanoassembly by nanorobotic manipulation
Fukuda T., Nakajima M., Liu P., ElShimy H. International Journal of Robotics Research 28(4): 537-547, 2009.  Type: Article

Eric Drexler first described possible methods for creating nanometer scale devices in the mid-1980s [1]. Since then, various methods, including some not described by Drexler, have been attempted, with many of them finding success....

  Three-dimensional construction with mobile robots and modular blocks
Werfel J., Nagpal R. International Journal of Robotics Research 27(3-4): 463-479, 2008.  Type: Article

In a sense, this paper shows how to build a three-dimensional (3D) object from smart blocks, using dumb robots....

  Designing an encountered-type haptic display for multiple fingertip contacts based on the observation of human grasping behaviors
Yokokohji Y., Muramori N., Sato Y., Yoshikawa T. International Journal of Robotics Research 24(9): 717-729, 2005.  Type: Article

The field of haptics is concerned with the engineering and design of systems (including software and hardware components) that support interaction with computer applications via tactile (touch) feedback and control. Together with a vis...
