One of the fundamental problems in the eld of mobile robotics is the estimation of the robot's position in the environment. Position probability grids have been proven to be a...
—Simultaneous Localization And Mapping (SLAM) is one of the major challenges in mobile robotics. Probabilistic techniques using high-end range finding devices are well establishe...
Modeling environments with 3D feature based representations is a challenging issue in current mobile robotics. Fast and robust algorithms are required for applicability to navigati...
— 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...
Autonomous mobile robots need to adapt their behavior to the terrain over which they drive, and to predict the traversability of the terrain so that they can effectively plan thei...
