Abstract. Unlike people, household robots cannot rely on commonsense knowledge when accomplishing everyday tasks. We believe that this is one of the reasons why they perform poorly...
— Mobile robot localization and navigation requires a map - the robot’s internal representation of the environment. A common problem is that path planning becomes very ineffic...
— This paper presents significant steps towards the online integration of 3D perception and manipulation for personal robotics applications. We propose a modular and distributed...

In this paper a novel method of reference places' detection to build topological models is described, as well as an algorithm for route planning based on Fuzzy Petri Nets. The...
— We present a novel approach to mobile robot navigation that enables navigation in outdoor environments without GPS. The approach uses a path planner that calculates optimal pat...
