Multi-Level Surface Maps for Outdoor Terrain Mapping and Loop Closing
— To operate outdoors or on non-flat surfaces, mobile robots need appropriate data structures that provide a compact representation of the environment and at the same time suppo...

Mapping Data in Peer-to-Peer Systems: Semantics and Algorithmic Issues
We consider the problem of mapping data in peer-topeer data-sharing systems. Such systems often rely on the use of mapping tables listing pairs of corresponding values to search f...

Optimal navigation and object finding without geometric maps or localization
In this paper we present a dynamic data structure, useful for robot navigation in an unknown, simplyconnected planar environment. The guiding philosophy in this work is to avoid t...
