We present a novel split and merge based method for dividing a given metric map into distinct regions, thus effectively creating a topological map on top of a metric one. The init...
Abstract. In this paper we consider the problem of active mobile robot localization with range sensors in outdoor environments. In contrast to passive approaches our approach activ...
—We study the problem of actively searching for an object in a 3D environment under the constraint of a maximum search time, using a visually guided humanoid robot with twentysix...

Existing techniques for autonomous indoor navigation are often environment-specific and thus limited in terms of their applicability. In this paper, we take a fundamentally differ...
