This paper introduces a generalized framework, termed “stochastic cloning,” for processing relative state measurements within a Kalman filter estimator. The main motivation a...
Autonomous robots, such as robot office couriers, need navigation routines that support flexible task execution and effective action planning. This paper describes XFRMLEARN, a s...
This paper presents a new appearance-based place recognition system for topological localization. The method uses a panoramic vision system to sense the environment. Color images ...
Abstract-- We present an approach to vision-based mobile robot localization, even without an a-priori pose estimate. This is accomplished by learning a set of visual features calle...
A novel sonar array for mobile robots is presented with applications to localization and mapping of indoor environments. The ultrasonic sensor localizes and classifies multiple ta...
