— Motion and sensor models are crucial components in current algorithms for mobile robot localization and mapping. These models are typically provided and hand-tuned by a human o...
— 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...
— Mobile robots have to detect and handle a variety of potential hazards to navigate autonomously. We present a real-time stereo vision based mapping algorithm for identifying an...
Simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) is a basic prerequisite in autonomous mobile robotics. Most existing visual SLAM approaches either assume a static environment, or sim...
— In the simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) problem, a mobile robot must build a map of its environment while simultaneously determining its location within that map. W...
