— Mobile robots have to detect and handle a variety of potential hazards to navigate autonomously. We present a real-time stereo vision based mapping algorithm for identifying an...
Active cameras provide a mobile robot with the capability to fixate and track features over a wide field of view. However, their use emphasises serial attention focussing on a succ...
In previous work, we showed how cooperative coevolution could be used to evolve both the feature construction stage and the classification stage of an object detection algorithm. ...
In this paper, we propose a new, hierarchical approach to landmark selection for simultaneous robot localization and mapping based on visual sensors: a biologically motivated atte...

— We present algorithms to detect and precisely localize curbs and stairways for autonomous navigation. These algorithms combine brightness information (in the form of edgels) wi...
