In this paper we introduce coverage maps as a new way of representing the environment of a mobile robot. Coverage maps store for each cell of a given grid a posterior about the am...
— In the last decades, tremendous progress has been made in the field of autonomous indoor navigation for mobile robots. However, these approaches assume the structural part of ...
— A 3D laser scanner is built by adding a rotating mirror to a conventional 2D scanner. The scanners are deployed on four robots to build full 3D representations of an indoor env...
— Within the research on Micro Aerial Vehicles (MAVs), the field on flight control and autonomous mission execution is one of the most active. A crucial point is the localizati...
— Map building through cooperative localisation (co-location) using circular geometric targets and a SICK laser range scanner is investigated. The tenet of co-location is circle ...
