— This paper addresses the problem of vegetation detection from laser measurements. The ability to detect vegetation is important for robots operating outdoors, since it enables ...
An ever-growing infrastructure, including existing and newly built power plants, as well as a rising environmental awareness in society call for inspection and maintenance systems...
— This paper presents a metric-based matching algorithm to estimate the robot planar displacement by matching dense two-dimensional range scans. The contribution is a geometric d...
This paper considers a real-time algorithm for performance optimization of switched-mode hybrid dynamical systems. The controlled parameter consists of the switching times between ...
One important design decision for the development of autonomously navigating mobile robots is the choice of the representation of the environment. This includes the question which...
