We present a novel split and merge based method for dividing a given metric map into distinct regions, thus effectively creating a topological map on top of a metric one. The init...
For interaction with its environment, a robot is required to learn models of objects and to perceive these models in the livestreams from its sensors. In this paper, we propose a ...
In this paper, we present techniques that allow one or multiple mobile robots to efficiently explore and model their environment. While much existing research in the area of Simul...
Abstract— This paper considers the problem of learning to recognize different terrains from color imagery in a fully automatic fashion, using the robot’s mechanical sensors as ...

A mobile robot requires perception of its local environment for both sensor based locomotion and for position estimation. Occupancy grids, based on ultrasonic range data, provide ...
