The capability of maintaining the pose of the mobile robot is central for basic navigation and map building tasks. In this paper we describe a vision-based hybrid localization sch...
This paper proposes two indicators for predicting the quality of camera model parameters from a set of input images. The first indicator is based on the acutance. It can quickly i...
—An omnidirectional mobile robot is able, kinematically, to move in any planar direction regardless of current pose. To date, nearly all designs and analyses of omnidirectional r...
Abstract— Path deformation is a technique that was introduced to generate robot motion wherein a path, that has been computed beforehand, is continuously deformed on-line in resp...
— This paper describes a navigation system for autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) in partially structured environments, such as dams, harbors, marinas or marine platforms. A m...
