Abstract— We present a strategy for resolving multiple hypotheses of a robot’s state during global localization. The strategy operates in two stages. In the first stage a uniq...

Abstract— In this paper we describe the use of automatic exploration for autonomous mapping of outdoor scenes. We describe a real-time SLAM implementation along with an autonomou...
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...
— When an emergency occurs within a building, it may be initially safer to send autonomous mobile nodes, instead of human responders, to explore the area and identify hazards and...
In this paper we present a system for topologically localizing a mobile robot using color histogram matching of omnidirectional images. The system is intended for use as a navigat...
