Abstract— Vision systems are used more and more in ’personal’ robots interacting with humans, since semantic information about objects and places can be derived from the rich...

– In Bayesian based approaches to mobile robot simultaneous localization and mapping, Rao-Blackwellized particle filters (RBPF) enable the efficient estimation of the posterior b...
— 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...
— We present a novel approach to mobile robot navigation that enables navigation in outdoor environments without GPS. The approach uses a path planner that calculates optimal pat...
— Mobile robots have to detect and handle a variety of potential hazards to navigate autonomously. We present a real-time stereo vision based mapping algorithm for identifying an...
