Algorithms for persistent autonomy and surveillance
… Our problem formulation extends prior work in persistent surveillance by considering the objective of successfully completing monitoring tasks in unknown, dynamic environments where the rates of events are time-inhomogeneous and may be subject to abrupt changes. We propose novel monitoring …

Self-reflective experiential learning for persistent autonomy
Robots have been expected to achieve persistent autonomy for a long time, in which robots are required to safely operate in unknown environments for extended lengths of time while without human interventions. Reinforcement learning holds the promise for persistent autonomy because it can adapt to …

Persistent autonomous exploration, mapping and localization
… thesis, we investigate methods for exploration, persistent autonomy, and simultaneous localization and mapping tasks for an autonomous mobile robot with battery constraints. First, we present modifications to baseline frontier exploration on an occupancy grid that makes the robot's frontier …

Visual Simultaneous Localization and Mapping: From Geometry to Deep Learning
… and Mapping (SLAM) is essential to achieve persistent autonomy for mobile robots in unknown environments, and is a key technique for enormous vision based applications, such as virtual and augmented reality. Researchers from the robotics and computer vision communities have endeavored and …

Modelling and control of unmanned ground vehicles
… issues is of significant importance in achieving persistent autonomy for outdoor UGVs, especially when navigating on unprepared terrains. The test-bed vehicle used for this research is retrofitted from an all-terrain 20-hp, 0.5-tonne vehicle. Its driveline system consists of an internal combustion …

Enhancing maritime defence and security through persistently autonomous operations and situation awareness systems
… mission priorities in a manner that preserves autonomy during Mine Counter measures (MCM) operations in unknown environments. This is not a trivial task. The approach followed utilizes ontologies for representing knowledge about the operational environment, the vehicle as well as mission …
