We have designed and built a set of miniature robots and developed a distributed software system to control them. We present experimental results on a surveillance task in which multiple robots patrol an area and watch for motion. We discuss how the limited communication bandwidth affects robot performance in accomplishing the task and analyze how performance depends on the number of robots that share the bandwidth.

A basic decentralizedcontrol algorithm for modular manipulators was introduced to achieve robustness against partial failures, a reduced calculation load, and flexibility with regard to configuration and obstacle avoidance. The algorithm uses a coupled nonlinear spring as a model for a manipulator and calculates the shape of the manipulator to balance with the coupled spring. Because encoding using coupled nonlinear dynamics can explain various shapes very simply, we can reduce the complexity of obstacle avoidance and adaptation to partial faults.

This paper describes construction of sensor network system for human behavior measurement and accumulation in a room. The network system consists of three layers: a sensing layer, a process layer and integration layer. It is capable of distributed processing in each module which is a group of several sensors. The implemented system of "robotic Room 2" based on distributed objects allows not only easy integration and accumulation of sensor information but also parallel execution of both integrated measurement and accumulation system.

This paper considers the processing of thermal images taken during an arc spraying process. It describes a filtering method for reconstructing an estimate of the required surface temperature from a sequence of images that contain unpredictable amounts of blurring and obscuration. A practical use of the filtering to control average surface temperature during metal arc spraying is also described.

In this paper we present two approaches for tracking of people in dynamic environments with a moving sensor system. The trajectories of persons are used to extract simple motion patterns. Object detection and tracking is based on range and color information which is provided by a laser range finder and a onmidirectional color camera. Without any predefined person-model the system acquires an internal representation of the person at an initialization phase. This representation is tracked in real-time in dynamic environments. During the tracking procedure illumination conditions axe continously monitored. The tracking approaches were implemented on a robotic wheelchair and evaluated experimentally in different dynamic environments.

The need for light weight yet highly mobile robotic platforms is driven by the limitation of available power. With unlimited energy, surface exploration missions could survive for months or years and greatly exceed their current productivity. The Sun-Synchronous Navigation project is developing long-duration solar-powered robot exploration through research in planning techniques and low-mass robot configurations. Hyperion is a rover designed and built for experiments in sun-synchronous exploration. This paper details Hyperion's steering mechanism and control, which features 4-wheel independent drive and an innovative passively articulated steering joint for locomotion.
