— Perceptual aliasing makes topological navigation a difficult task. In this paper we present a general approach for topological SLAM (simultaneous localisation and mapping) whi...
This article presents a very efficient SLAM algorithm that works by hierarchically dividing a map into local regions and subregions. At each level of the hierarchy each region sto...
— This paper presents the iRobot corporation’s Roomba vacuum as a low-cost resource for robotics research and education. Sensor and actuation models for unmodified Roombas are...
We propose a novel approach to the problem of simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) based on incremental smoothing, that is suitable for real-time applications in large-sca...
In this paper a novel Polar Scan Matching (PSM) approach is described that works in the laser scanner’s polar coordinate system, therefore taking advantage of the structure of t...
