In order to deploy mobile robots in social environments like indoor buildings, they need to be provided with perceptual abilities to detect people. In the computer vision literatur...
Abstract— This paper studies the sequential object recognition problem faced by a mobile robot searching for specific objects within a cluttered environment. In contrast to curr...
— Robotic systems that can create and use visual maps in realtime have obvious advantages in many applications, from automatic driving to mobile manipulation in the home. In this...
