—The main contribution of this paper arises from the development of a new framework, which has its inspiration in the mechanics of human navigation, for solving the problem of Si...
In this paper we examine issues of localization, exploration, and planning in the context of a hybrid robot/camera-network system. We exploit the ubiquity of camera networks to us...
Localization is one of the fundamental problems in mobile robotics. Without knowledge about their position mobile robots cannot e ciently carry out their tasks. In this paper we pr...
This paper concerns the exploration of a natural environment by a mobile robot equipped with both a video color camera and a stereo-vision system. We focus on the interest of such ...
