— Service robots designed for domestic settings need to navigate in an environment that they have to share with their users. Thus, they have to be able to report their current st...
Abstract— Safety is a critical characteristic for robots designed to operate in human environments. This paper presents the concept of hybrid actuation for the development of hum...
— We present a new algorithm for solving the global localization problem called Frozen-Time Smoother (FTS). Time is ‘frozen’, in the sense that the belief always refers to th...
— One of the key tasks during the realization of probabilistic approaches to localization is the design of a proper sensor model, that calculates the likelihood of a measurement ...
