There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

Title: Moving Robots
Speaker: Dr. Craig A. Tovey
Abstract: Localization, mapping, and goal-directed search are three fundamental robot motion problems. In localization, the robot knows the map of the terrain, but does not know its own location. In mapping, the robot must construct the map by traversing the terrain. In goal-directed search, the robot knows the location of its destination relative to its initial location, but does not know the intervening terrain. I'll survey and derive various algorithms and performance bounds for these problems. This is joint work with Apurva Mudgal, Sven Koenig, Joe Mitchell, and possibly others as time permits.
