Man-made environments possess many regularities which can be efficiently exploited for image based rendering as well as robotic visual navigation and localization tasks. In this ...
We discuss the role of spatial representations and visual geometries in vision-based navigation. To a large extent, these choices determine the complexity and robustness of a given...
— The problem of simultaneous localization and mapping has received much attention over the last years. Especially large scale environments, where the robot trajectory loops back...
— We describe a system in which autonomous robots assemble two-dimensional structures out of square building blocks. A fixed set of local control rules is sufficient for a grou...

An approach to high-level interaction with autonomous robots by means of schematic maps is outlined. Schematic maps are knowledge representation structures to encode qualitative s...
