— Being able to localize the origin of a sound is important for our capability to interact with the environment. Humans can localize a sound source in both the horizontal and ver...
SLAM algorithms based on local maps have been demonstrated to be well suited for mapping large environments as they reduce the computational cost and improve the consistency of the...
Abstract— In human-robot communication it is often important to relate robot sensor readings to concepts used by humans. We believe that access to semantic maps will make it poss...

In many applications in mobile robotics, it is important for a robot to explore its environment in order to construct a representation of space useful for guiding movement. We refe...
