This paper describes a multi-loop, modular navigation architecture for mobile robots whose structure allows the execution of most types of navigation tasks in a highly robust mann...
— To effectively navigate in their environments and accurately reach their target locations, mobile robots require a globally consistent map of the environment. The problem of le...
We present a novel geometric model for robot mapping based on shape. Shape similarity measure and matching techniques originating from computer vision are specially redesigned for ...
— In this paper, a control scheme that combines trajectory planning and gaze direction control for robotic exploration is presented. The objective is to calculate the gaze direct...
In many applications in mobile robotics, it is important for a robot to explore its environment in order to construct a representation of space useful for guiding movement. We refe...
