— This article addresses the problem of autonomous map building and exploration of an unknown environment with mobile robots. The proposed method assumes that mobile robots use o...
: The performance of single-camera SLAM is improved when wide-angle optics provide a field of view greater than the 40 to 50 degrees lenses normally used in computer vision. The is...
— Robot search and rescue is a time critical task, i.e. a large terrain has to be explored by multiple robots within a short amount of time. The efficiency of exploration depend...

We present a framework for constructing representations of space in an autonomous agent which does not obtain any direct information about its location. Instead the algorithm relie...
Cricket phonotaxis (sound localization behavior) was implemented on an autonomous outdoor robot platform inspired by cockroach locomotion. This required the integration of a novel...
