When animals (including humans) first explore a new environment, what they remember is fragmentary knowledge about the places visited. Yet, they have to use such fragmentary knowl...
The problem of generating maps with mobile robots has received considerable attention over the past years. Most of the techniques developed so far have been designed for situation...
We present an approach for creating conceptual representations of human-made indoor environments using mobile robots. The concepts refer to spatial and functional properties of ty...
— This paper presents a feature based 3D mapping approach with regard to obtaining compact models of semistructured environments such as partially destroyed buildings where mobil...
— We present a novel approach to mobile robot navigation that enables navigation in outdoor environments without GPS. The approach uses a path planner that calculates optimal pat...
