— This paper presents an analysis of FastSLAM— a Rao-Blackwellised particle filter formulation of simultaneous localisation and mapping. It shows that the algorithm degenerate...
— Designing a localization system for a low-cost robotic consumer product poses a major challenge. In previous work, we introduced Vector Field SLAM [5], a system for simultaneou...

Exact cellular decompositions are structures that globally encode the topology of a robot's free space, while locally describing the free space's geometry. These structu...

— This paper addresses two key limitations of the unscented Kalman filter (UKF) when applied to the simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) problem: the cubic, in the numbe...

Multiple-pursuer multiple-evader games raise fundamental and novel problems in control theory and robotics. In this paper, we propose a distributed solution to this problem that si...
