One important design decision for the development of autonomously navigating mobile robots is the choice of the representation of the environment. This includes the question which...
— A 3D laser scanner is built by adding a rotating mirror to a conventional 2D scanner. The scanners are deployed on four robots to build full 3D representations of an indoor env...
— This paper describes a method of probabilistic obstacle map building based on Bayesian estimation. Most active or passive obstacle sensors observe only the most frontal objects...
This paper describes and evaluates an image-based place recognition method for mobile robots based on matching image signatures. The method represents an image as a set of arrays ...
— Map building through cooperative localisation (co-location) using circular geometric targets and a SICK laser range scanner is investigated. The tenet of co-location is circle ...
