Abstract— This paper presents a new approach to the multirobot map-alignment problem that enables teams of robots to build joint maps without initial knowledge of their relative ...
We present a novel method for information-theoretic exploration, leveraging recent work on mapping and localization. We describe exploration as the constrained optimization proble...
Abstract— In this paper we describe an algorithm to compute cycle constraints that can be used in many graph-based SLAM algorithms; we exemplify it in Hierarchical SLAM. Our algo...
— The problem of simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) is one of the most studied in the robotics literature. Most existing approaches, however, focus on scenarios where l...
Abstract— In this paper we consider ways to alleviate negative estimated depth for the inverse depth parameterisation of bearing-only SLAM. This problem, which can arise even if ...
