The ability of finding its situation in a given environment is crucial for an autonomous agent. While navigating through a space, a mobile robot must be capable of finding its lo...
— Scan-matching based on data from a laser scanner is frequently used for mapping and localization. This paper presents an scan-matching approach based instead on visual informat...

— One of the fundamental problems of the mobile robots is self-localization, i.e. to estimate the self-position by comparing sensor data and a map. In non-stationary environments...

— This paper presents a visual based localization mechanism for a legged robot. Our proposal, fundamented on a probabilistic approach, uses a precompiled topological map where na...
— A mobile robot we have developed is equipped with sensors to measure range to landmarks and can simultaneously localize itself as well as locate the landmarks. This modality is...
