— To operate outdoors or on non-flat surfaces, mobile robots need appropriate data structures that provide a compact representation of the environment and at the same time suppo...
— This paper presents a new approach for the absolute self-localization of a mobile robot in structured large-scale environments. The requirements with regard to both, the necess...
When animals (including humans) first explore a new environment, what they remember is fragmentary knowledge about the places visited. Yet, they have to use such fragmentary knowl...
The problem of generating maps with mobile robots has received considerable attention over the past years. Most of the techniques developed so far have been designed for situation...
In this paper, we describe development of a mobile robot which does unsupervised learning for recognizing an environment from action sequences. We call this novel recognition appr...
