— 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...
Most current mobile robots are designed to determine their actions according to their positions. Before making a decision, they need to localize themselves. Thus, their observation...
— This paper addresses the problem of simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) by a mobile robot. The SLAM problem is defined as a global optimization problem in which the o...
Reservoir Computing (RC) techniques use a fixed (usually randomly created) recurrent neural network, or more generally any dynamic system, which operates at the edge of stability,...

— In appearance based robot localization a new image is matched with every image in the database. In this paper we describe how to reduce the number of images in this database wi...
