Presents a probabilistic algorithm for simultaneously estimating the pose of a mobile robot
and the positions of nearby people in a previously mapped environment. This approach …

This paper describes two robotic systems developed for acquiring accurate volumetric maps
of underground mines. One system is based on a cart instrumented by laser range finders …

Abstract The new Carnegie Mellon Autonomous I and Vehicle group has produced the first
demonstrations of road following robots. In this paper we first describe the robots that are …

This article discusses the software architecture of an autonomous robotic system designed
to explore and map abandoned mines. A new set of software tools is presented, enabling …

The authors are building a prototype legged rover, called the Ambler (loosely an acronym for
autonomous mobile exploration robot) and testing it on full-scale, rugged terrain of the sort …

The objective of this study was to analyse associations between sexualised substance use
(chemsex), STI diagnoses and sexual behaviour among gay bisexual and other men who …

Increasingly, financial incentives are being used in health care as a result of increasing
demand for health care coupled with fiscal pressures. Financial incentive schemes are one …
