In many applications in mobile robotics, it is important for a robot to explore its environment in order to construct a representation of space useful for guiding movement. We refe...
Abstract— We introduce a method for fast and accurate registration of multiple horizontal laser scans obtained by a mobile robot. The method is based on novel representation of t...
We consider the problem of autonomous navigation in unstructured outdoor terrains using vision sensors. The goal is for a robot to come into a new environment, map it and move to ...
Abstract— This paper introduces a method of building topological maps using sequences of images and the approximate string matching algorithm, which is commonly used in DNA seque...
In this paper simultaneous localization and map building is performed with a hybrid, metric - topological, approach. A global topological map connects local metric maps, allowing ...
