To operate successfully in indoor environments, mobile robots must be able to localize themselves. Most current localization algorithms lack flexibility, autonomy, and often optim...
— A mobile robot we have developed is equipped with sensors to measure range to landmarks and can simultaneously localize itself as well as locate the landmarks. This modality is...

—This article describes a rigorous and complete framework for the simultaneous localization and map building problem for mobile robots: the symmetries and perturbations map (SPma...
— This paper presents a distributed Maximum A Posteriori (MAP) estimator for multi-robot Cooperative Localization (CL). As opposed to centralized MAP-based CL, the proposed algor...
