Robots are rapidly evolving from factory work-horses to robot-companions. The future of robots, as our companions, is highly dependent on their abilities to understand, interpret ...
In this paper we present a novel approach to mobile robot navigation in natural unstructured environments. Natural scenes can be considered as random fields where a large number ...
- In this work we address the problem of perception, spatial cognition and topological navigation for a mobile robot. The objective of this work is to enable the navigation of an a...
In this paper, we present a new approach for continuous probabilistic mapping. The objective is to build metric maps of unknown environments through cooperation between multiple au...
When animals (including humans) first explore a new environment, what they remember is fragmentary knowledge about the places visited. Yet, they have to use such fragmentary knowl...
