We present an overview of FAB-MAP, an algorithm for place recognition and mapping developed for infrastructure-free mobile robot navigation in large environments. The system allow...
— Local linearizations are ubiquitous in the control of robotic systems. Analytical methods, if available, can be used to obtain the linearization, but in complex robotics system...
Abstract. This paper concerns the exploration of a natural environment by a mobile robot equipped with both a video camera and a range sensor (stereo or laser range finder); we fo...

In mobile robotics, there are often features that, while potentially powerful for improving navigation, prove difficult to profit from as they generalize poorly to novel situations...

Flexible general purpose robots need to tailor their visual processing to their task, on the fly. We propose a new approach to this within a planning framework, where the goal is ...
