— Motion and sensor models are crucial components in current algorithms for mobile robot localization and mapping. These models are typically provided and hand-tuned by a human o...
We present an application of hierarchical Bayesian estimation to robot map building. The revisiting problem occurs when a robot has to decide whether it is seeing a previously-bui...

The solution to the problem of mapping an environment and at the same time using this map to localize (the simultaneous localization and mapping, SLAM, problem) is a key prerequis...
— 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 Modern service robots will soon become an essential part of modern society. As they have to move and act in human environments, it is essential for them to be provided wit...
