— Motion and sensor models are crucial components in current algorithms for mobile robot localization and mapping. These models are typically provided and hand-tuned by a human o...
—Simultaneous Localization And Mapping (SLAM) is one of the major challenges in mobile robotics. Probabilistic techniques using high-end range finding devices are well establishe...
— High performance and compliant robot control requires accurate dynamics models which cannot be obtained analytically for sufficiently complex robot systems. In such cases, mac...
Reliable and efficient navigation with a humanoid robot is a difficult task. First, the motion commands are executed rather inaccurately due to backlash in the joints or foot slipp...
— Mobile robots do not adequately represent the objects in their environment; this weakness hinders a robot’s ability to utilize past experience. In this paper, we describe a s...
