—This article describes a rigorous and complete framework for the simultaneous localization and map building problem for mobile robots: the symmetries and perturbations map (SPma...
In this paper the problem of positioning a team of mobile robots for a surveillance task in a non-convex environment with obstacles is considered. The robots are equipped with glob...
- Exploration is the fundamental task of guiding a robot autonomously during mapping so that it covers the entire environment with its sensors. In the frontier-based exploration, a...
