This paper describes a technique whereby an autonomous agent such as a mobile robot can explore an unknown environment and make a topologicalmapofit. It is assumedthat the environ...
Mobile robots require the ability to build their own maps to operate in unknown environments. A fundamental problem is that odometry-based dead reckoning cannot be used to assign ...
A mapmaking robot integrates accumulated sensor data into a data structure that can be used for future localization or planning operations. Localization is the process of determin...
This paper presents a new real-time localization system for a mobile robot. We show that autonomous navigation is possible in outdoor situation with the use of a single camera and ...

In this paper we present a dynamic data structure, useful for robot navigation in an unknown, simplyconnected planar environment. The guiding philosophy in this work is to avoid t...
