— We address in this paper the problem of the autonomous online learning of a sensory-motor task, demonstrated by an operator guiding the robot. For the last decade, we have deve...
Self-localisation is an essential competence for mobile robot navigation. Due to the fundamental unreliability of dead reckoning, a robot must depend on its perception of external...
Potential function approaches to robot navigation provide an elegant paradigm for expressing multiple constraints and goals in mobile robot navigation problems 9]. As an example, ...
— We present a topological navigation system that is able to visually recognize the different rooms of an apartment and guide a robot between them. Specifically tailored for sma...
