— Mobile robots have to detect and handle a variety of potential hazards to navigate autonomously. We present a real-time stereo vision based mapping algorithm for identifying an...
— In the simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) problem, a mobile robot must build a map of its environment while simultaneously determining its location within that map. W...
In this paper a system will be presented that was developed for ESA for the support of planetary exploration. The system that is sent to the planetary surface consists of a rover a...
