— This paper presents an analysis of the extended Kalman filter formulation of simultaneous localisation and mapping (EKF-SLAM). We show that the algorithm produces very optimis...
Abstract—We describe a method for automatically generating accurate piecewise planar models of indoor scenes using a combination of a 2D laser scanner and a camera on a mobile pl...
This paper considers a robot with multiple sensors navigating an unknown, heterogeneous environment. In these cases sensor errors may produce an unsuitable model of the world. For...
Building a spatially consistent model is a key functionality to endow a mobile robot with autonomy. Without an initial map or an absolute localization means, it requires to concurr...

Currently, robotic rotorcraft determine landing zones based on visual cues or predetermined GPS waypoints. Missions such as perch-and-stare or cargo delivery demand the ability to ...
