Virtual sensors for human concepts - Building detection by an outdoor mobile robot
Abstract— In human-robot communication it is often important to relate robot sensor readings to concepts used by humans. We suggest to use a virtual sensor (one or several physic...

A multi-agent architecture with cooperative fuzzy control for a mobile robot
The challenges of robotics have led the researchers to develop control architectures composed of distributed, independent and asynchronous behaviors. One way to approach decentral...

From images to rooms
In this paper we start from a set of images obtained by the robot that is moving around in an environment. We present a method to automatically group the images into groups that c...

Decentralized cooperative control of heterogeneous vehicle groups
We coordinate in discrete time the interaction of two heterogeneous groups of mobile agents: a group of ground vehicles (ugvs) and a group of aerial vehicles (uavs). The ground ag...

Tracking-error model-based predictive control for mobile robots in real time
In this paper, a model-predictive trajectory-tracking control applied to a mobile robot is presented. Linearized tracking-error dynamics is used to predict future system behavior ...

Multi-method learning and assimilation
Considering the wide range of possible behaviors to be acquired for domestic robots, applying a single learning method is clearly insufficient. In this paper, we propose a new str...
