— Despite all the progress that has been made in Robotics and Artificial Intelligence, traditional approaches seem unsuitable to build truly intelligent robots, exhibiting human...
We describe a framework for robot navigation that exploits the continuity of image sequences. Tracked visual features both guide the robot and provide predictive information about...
Appearance-based localization compares the current image taken from a robot's camera to a set of pre-recorded images in order to estimate the current location of the robot. S...
This paper presents a method to process axial monocular image sequences for mobile robot obstacle detection. We do not aim to achieve a complete scene reconstruction, but only to ...
— This paper describes a panoramic view-based navigation in outdoor environments. We have been developing a two-phase navigation method. In the training phase, the robot acquires...
