— Our goal is polygonal approximation of laser range data points obtained by a mobile robot. The proposed approach provides a precise estimation of the number of model components...
Self localization seems necessary for mobile robot navigation. The conventional method such as geometric reconstruction from landmark observations is generally time-consuming and ...
Abstract This paper deals with the problem of mobile-robot localization in structured environments. The extended Kalman filter (EKF) is used to localize the fourwheeled mobile robo...
Abstract—This paper presents a probabilistic algorithm for simultaneously estimating the pose of a mobile robot and the positions of nearby people in a previously mapped environm...
