- Autonomous navigation in 2D and 3D environments has been studied for a long time. Navigating within a 3D environment is very challenging for both animals and robots and a variety...
— We present a novel plane tracking algorithm based on the direct update of surface parameters from two stereo images. The plane tracking algorithm is posed as an optimization pr...
In January, 2004, the Mars Exploration Rover (MER) mission landed two rovers, Spirit and Opportunity, on the surface of Mars. Several autonomous navigation capabilities were employ...

In this paper we present a system for topologically localizing a mobile robot using color histogram matching of omnidirectional images. The system is intended for use as a navigat...
Abstract— In general, a mobile robot that operates in unknown environments has to maintain a map and has to determine its own location given the map. This introduces significant...
