This paper presents a novel algorithm for 3D depth estimation using a particle filter (PFDE - Particle Filter Depth Estimation) in a monocular vSLAM (Visual Simultaneous Localiza...
— When an emergency occurs within a building, it may be initially safer to send autonomous mobile nodes, instead of human responders, to explore the area and identify hazards and...
A major challenge in robotics and artificial intelligence lies in creating robots that are to cooperate with people in human-populated environments, e.g. for domestic assistance ...
We develop a network of distributed mobile sensor systems as a solution to the emergency response problem. The mobile sensors are inside a building and they form a connected ad-ho...
