We address the problem of minimum distance localization in environments that may contain self-similarities. A mobile robot is placed at an unknown location inside a ¢¤£ self-sim...
This paper presents a novel method for mobile robot localization using visual appearance features. A multidimensional-histogram is used to describe the global appearance features ...
Global mobile robot localization is the problem of determining a robot's pose in an environment, using sensor data, when the starting position is unknown. A family of probabi...
— A major challenge in the path of widespread use of mobile robots is the ability to function autonomously, learning useful features from the environment and using them to adapt ...
