We study Mercer's theorem and feature maps for several positive definite kernels that are widely used in practice. The smoothing properties of these kernels will also be explo...
— This article addresses the problem of autonomous map building and exploration of an unknown environment with mobile robots. The proposed method assumes that mobile robots use o...
The problem of programming a robot t o carry out a systematic exploration of its environment using realistic sensors is considered in this paper. The robot is modelled as a single...
To navigate in unknown environments, mobile robots require the ability to build their own maps. A major problem for robot map building is that odometry-based dead reckoning cannot ...
Abstract— In this paper we describe the use of automatic exploration for autonomous mapping of outdoor scenes. We describe a real-time SLAM implementation along with an autonomou...
