— Perceptual aliasing makes topological navigation a difficult task. In this paper we present a general approach for topological SLAM (simultaneous localisation and mapping) whi...
In this work, a Modified Vector Field Histogram (MVFH) has been developed to improve path planning and obstacle avoidance for a wheeled driven mobile robot. It permits the detecti...
—We are concerned with enabling truly large scale autonomous navigation in typical human environments. To this end we describe the acquisition and modeling of large urban spaces ...
