— Mobile robot localization and navigation requires a map - the robot’s internal representation of the environment. A common problem is that path planning becomes very ineffic...
: The performance of single-camera SLAM is improved when wide-angle optics provide a field of view greater than the 40 to 50 degrees lenses normally used in computer vision. The is...
This paper presents a technique for mapping partially observable features from multiple uncertain vantage points. The problem of concurrent mapping and localization (CML) is state...

In this paper we start from a set of images obtained by the robot that is moving around in an environment. We present a method to automatically group the images into groups that c...
This paper investigates safe and efficient map-building strategies for a mobile robot with imperfect control and sensing. In the implementation, a robot equipped with a range sens...
