- The two dominant forms of SLAM are based on Extended Kalman Filtering and Consistent Pose Estimation. We show that these are particular subsets of a more general view of the SLAM...
— This paper describes the use of natural language route descriptions in the mobile robot navigation domain. Guided by corpus analysis and earlier work on coarse qualitative rout...
— Service robots designed for domestic settings need to navigate in an environment that they have to share with their users. Thus, they have to be able to report their current st...
Mobile robots require the ability to build their own maps to operate in unknown environments. A fundamental problem is that odometry-based dead reckoning cannot be used to assign ...
— 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...
