cal maps provide a useful abstraction for robotic navigation and planning. Although stochastic mapscan theoreticallybe learned using the Baum-Welch algorithm,without strong prior ...
Recent research in robot exploration and mapping has focused on sampling environmental hotspot fields. This exploration task is formalized by Low, Dolan, and Khosla (2008) in a se...
Simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) is a basic prerequisite in autonomous mobile robotics. Most existing visual SLAM approaches either assume a static environment, or sim...
Cheap digital cameras are readily available. They can be mounted on robots and used to build maps of the surrounding environment. However, these cameras suffer from several drawba...
This paper presents a novel method for enabling a robot to determine the position of a sound source in three dimensions using just two microphones and interaction with its environm...
