Abstract— We aim at developing autonomous microflyers capable of navigating within houses or small built environments. The severe weight and energy constraints of indoor flying...
— Omnidirectional cameras offer a much wider field of view than the perspective ones and alleviate the problems due to occlusions. However, both types of cameras suffer from the...

- This paper introduces a modular, real-time, omnidirectional, active vision system, as well as a constructed prototype. By combining omnidirectional and active pan-tilt cameras, a...
Harmonic functions provide optimal potential maps for robot navigation in a previously explored static environment. Here we investigate the performance of an algorithm for explora...
