— The Extended Kalman Filter (EKF) has been the de facto approach to the Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) problem for nearly fifteen years. However, the EKF has two ...
— Local linearizations are ubiquitous in the control of robotic systems. Analytical methods, if available, can be used to obtain the linearization, but in complex robotics system...
Abstract— Autonomous mobile agents require object recognition for high level interpretation and localization in complex scenes. In urban environments, recognition of buildings mi...
— This paper presents a distributed version of our previous work, called SAFDetection, which is a sensor analysisbased fault detection approach that is used to monitor tightlycou...
— We describe a method for an autonomous robot to efficiently locate one or more distinct objects in a realistic environment using monocular vision. We demonstrate how to effic...
