Unmanned vehicles and robots usually are related to situations involving hazardous environments, repetitive and menial tasks. Unmanned vehicles can be used in many areas, such as surveillance, mine hunting, automatic inspection, disposal of hazardous materials, natural resource management, and ocean exploration. In this talk, we will present our current research in unmanned vehicles and robotics. We will present the sensing, perception, navigation, mapping, and localization methods for autonomous robots (air, ground, and underwater). Probabilistic robotics algorithms will be introduced. Simulation and experimental results will be presented.
