— 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...
Abstract— We present a novel cooperative vehicle position estimation algorithm, which can achieve higher levels of accuracy and reliability than existing GPS based positioning so...
— One of the fundamental problems of the mobile robots is self-localization, i.e. to estimate the self-position by comparing sensor data and a map. In non-stationary environments...

We describe techniques to optimally select landmarks for performing mobile robot localization by matching terrain maps. The method is based upon a maximum-likelihood robot localiza...
— Visual localization and mapping for mobile robots has been achieved with a large variety of methods. Among them, topological navigation using vision has the advantage of offeri...
