Which landmark is useful? Learning selection policies for navigation in unknown environments
Abstract— In general, a mobile robot that operates in unknown environments has to maintain a map and has to determine its own location given the map. This introduces significant...

Localization in Urban Environments: Monocular Vision Compared to a Differential GPS Sensor
In this paper we present a method for computing the localization of a mobile robot with reference to a learning video sequence. The robot is first guided on a path by a human, whi...
