— Mobile robot localization and navigation requires a map - the robot’s internal representation of the environment. A common problem is that path planning becomes very ineffic...
In this paper we introduce coverage maps as a new way of representing the environment of a mobile robot. Coverage maps store for each cell of a given grid a posterior about the am...
This paper addresses the problem of building large-scale geometric maps of indoor environments with mobile robots. It poses the map building problem as a constrained, probabilistic...
Abstract— Linking semantic and spatial information has become an important research area in robotics since, for robots interacting with humans and performing tasks in natural env...
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...
