Visual target tracking on the Mars Exploration Rovers (2009)
Kim, Won S., Biesiadecki, Jeffrey J., Ali, Khaled S.
Visual Target Tracking (VTT) has been implemented in the new Mars Exploration Rover (MER) Flight Software (FSW) R9.2 release, which is now running on both Spirit and Opportunity rovers. Applying the...
Attitude and position estimation on the Mars Exploration Rovers (2006)
Ali, Khaled S., Vanelli, C. Anthony, Biesiadecki, Jeffrey J., Maimone, Mark W., Yang Cheng, A., San Martin, Miguel, ...
NASA/JPL ’s Mars Exploration Rovers acquire their attitude upon command and autonomously propagate their attitude and position. The rovers use accelerometers and images of the sun to acquire...
Attitude and position estimation on the Mars Exploration Rovers (2006)
Ali, Khaled S., Vanelli, C. Anthony, Biesiadecki, Jeffrey J., Maimone, Mark W., Cheng, Yang, San Martin, A. Miguel, ...
This paper describes the techniques used by the rovers to acquire and maintain attitude and position knowledge, the accuracy which is obtainable, and lessons learned after more than one year in...
High gain antenna pointing on the Mars Exploration Rovers (2006)
Vanelli, C. Anthony, Ali, Khaled S.
This paper describes the algorithm used to point the high gain antennae on NASA/JPL’s Mars Exploration Rovers. The gimballed antennae must track the Earth as it moves across the Martian sky during...

Paul G. Backes, Je�rey S. Norris, Je�rey T. Slostad, Robert G. Bonitz, ...
The Mars Polar Lander �MPL � mission was the �rst planetary mission to use Internet�based dis� tributed ground operations where scientists and en� gineers collaborate in daily mission...
Multiagent teleautonomous behavioral control (2000)
Khaled S. Ali, Ronald C. Arkin
Multiagent schema-based reactive robotic systems are complemented with the addition of a new behavior controlled by a human operator. This enables the whole society to be affected as a group rather...
Design and implementation of a teleautonomous hummer (1998)
Darrin C. Bentivegna, Khaled S. Ali, Ronald C. Arkin, Tucker Balch
Autonomous and semi-autonomous full-sized ground vehicles are becoming increasingly important, particularly in military applications. Here we describe the instrumentation of one such vehicle, a...
Implementing schema-theoretic models of animal behavior in robotic systems (1998)
Khaled S. Ali, Ronald C. Arkin
Formal models of animal sensorimotor behavior can provide effective methods for generating robotic intelligence. In this paper we describe how schema-theoretic models of the praying mantis are...

Autonomous and semi-autonomous full-sized ground vehicles are becoming increasingly important, particularly in military applications. Here we describe the instrumentation of one such vehicle, a...
Combining Navigational Planning and Reactive Control (1996)
Traditional AI methods for navigational planning use qualitative spatial representations and reasoning. Traditional robotics techniques for this task are based on numerical representations and...
Some Experimental Results in Multistrategy Navigation Planning (1995)
Eleni Stoulia, Ashok K. Goel, Ashok K. Goel, Khaled S. Ali, Khaled S. Ali, Eleni Stroulia
Spatial navigation is a classical problem in AI. In this paper, we examine three specific hypotheses regarding multistrategy navigation planning in visually engineered physical spaces containing...
Integration of Reactive and Telerobotic Control in Multi-agent Robotic Systems (1994)
Ronald C. Arkin, Khaled S. Ali
Multi-agent schema-based reactive robotic systems are complemented with the addition of a new behavior controlled by a teleoperator. This enables the whole society to be affected as a group rather...
