— Perceptual aliasing makes topological navigation a difficult task. In this paper we present a general approach for topological SLAM (simultaneous localisation and mapping) whi...
Abstract— Many planning approaches adhere to the twotiered architecture consisting of a long-range, low fidelity global planner and a short-range high fidelity local planner. W...
Autonomous planetary rovers operating in vast unknown environments must operate efficiently because of size, power and computing limitations. Recently, we have developed a rover c...

Abstract. In image-based robot navigation, the robot localises itself by comparing images taken at its current position with a set of reference images stored in its memory. The pro...

Especially in dynamic environments a key feature concerning the robustness of mobile robot navigation is the capability of global self-localization. This term denotes a robot'...
