— Modular robots can potentially assemble into a wide range of configurations to locomote in different environments. However, designing locomotion strategies for each configura...
— We present a new algorithm for solving the global localization problem called Frozen-Time Smoother (FTS). Time is ‘frozen’, in the sense that the belief always refers to th...
— In implementing a vision localization system, a crucial issue to consider is how to efficiently store and recall the necessary information so that the robot is not only able t...
In this paper simultaneous localization and map building is performed with a hybrid, metric - topological, approach. A global topological map connects local metric maps, allowing ...

We consider the problem of autonomous navigation in unstructured outdoor terrains using vision sensors. The goal is for a robot to come into a new environment, map it and move to ...
