CMPack'04: Team Report

TheCMPACK ’04 team follows our past teams CMPack’03, CMPack’02, CMPack’01, CMPack’00, CMTrio’99, and CMTrio’98 [7, 5, 10, 9]. In our research this year, we explored the capabilities of the new ERS-7 robotic platform; developed new ways of modeling the world, such as using accelerometer data to detect when the robot is entangled; and maintained our focus on robust behaviors and cooperation. In this paper, we will focus in detail on several recent components of the team.
