Localization is the problem of determining the position of a mobile robot from sensor data. Most existing localization approaches are passive, i.e., they do not exploit the opport...
— The creation of a robot capable of navigating in unknown urban environments without the use of GPS data or prior map knowledge is envisioned in the Autonomous City Explorer (AC...
In this paper we discuss landmark based absolute localization of tiny autonomous mobile robots in a known environment. Landmark features are naturally occurring as it is not allow...
In mobile robotics, there are often features that, while potentially powerful for improving navigation, prove difficult to profit from as they generalize poorly to novel situations...

—Though the final goal of mobile robot navigation is to be autonomous, operators’ intelligent and skillful decisions are necessary when there are many scattered obstacles. Ther...
