— This article addresses the problem of autonomous map building and exploration of an unknown environment with mobile robots. The proposed method assumes that mobile robots use o...
Abstract— This paper describes a new algorithm for cooperative and persistent simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) using multiple robots. Recent pose graph representation...

In this paper we examine issues of localization, exploration, and planning in the context of a hybrid robot/camera-network system. We exploit the ubiquity of camera networks to us...
