Systematic errors observed in CryoSat-2 elevation swaths on mountain glaciers and their implications

Our awareness of ice caps' and mountain glaciers' sensitivity to climate change has driven major advances in the application of remote sensing techniques during the past decade. Regarding ESA's SARIn altimeter CryoSat-2, processing the full waveform to generate swaths of elevation estimates has become standard practice in regions of complex...

Teleoperation Support System Robust to Uncertainties in Haptic Guidance

When tasks need to be performed in remote, potentially inaccessible and/or hostile environments for humans, it is often more convenient to send a robot. Such environments are often only partially known, and therefore not suitable for fully autonomous robots to operate in. In these situations teleoperation can be used, which combines the problem...
