External perception based on vision plays a critical role in developing improved and robust localization algorithms, as well as gaining important information about the vehicle and ...
A `Moving Window' scheme for detecting lanes, obstacles and corridor environments from the images captured by a CCD camera in an automobile or mobile robot is proposed. Proce...
We propose a novel combination of techniques for robustly estimating the position of a mobile robot in outdoor environments using range data. Our approach applies a particle filte...
How can a mobile robot measure the area of a closed region that is beyond its immediate sensing range? This problem, which we name as blind area measurement, is inspired from scout...
Most current mobile robots are designed to determine their actions according to their positions. Before making a decision, they need to localize themselves. Thus, their observation...
This paper proposes a visual servoing algorithm for mobile robot navigation based on the epipolar geometry retrieved by object profiles. The main motivation for this approach is th...

We propose to use a multi-camera rig for simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM), providing flexibility in sensor placement on mobile robot platforms while exploiting the str...
This paper represents a description of our approach to the problem of topological localization of a mobile robot using visual information. Our method has been developed for ImageCL...
Several researchers, present authors included, envision personal mobile robot agents that can assist humans in their daily tasks. Despite many advances in robotics, such mobile ro...
