In this article we present a novel, hybrid graph spatial representation for robot navigation. This representation enables our mobile robot to build a model of its surroundings whi...
— This paper presents a visual attention mechanism for the acquisition of landmarks in an arbitrary scene. The proposed mechanism consists of two consecutive selection stages. Th...
Abstract. Autonomous mobile robot navigation systems are based on three principal kinds of techniques: map-based navigation, map-building-based navigation and mapless navigation. W...
— One of the fundamental problems of the mobile robots is self-localization, i.e. to estimate the self-position by comparing sensor data and a map. In non-stationary environments...
