— To effectively navigate in their environments and accurately reach their target locations, mobile robots require a globally consistent map of the environment. The problem of le...
— A robot exploring an environment can estimate its own motion and the relative positions of features in the environment. Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) algorithms ...
cal maps provide a useful abstraction for robotic navigation and planning. Although stochastic mapscan theoreticallybe learned using the Baum-Welch algorithm,without strong prior ...
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...
