Robots are rapidly evolving from factory work-horses to robot-companions. The future of robots, as our companions, is highly dependent on their abilities to understand, interpret ...
Abstract. The purpose of this paper is to present a technique to create a global map of a robot’s surrounding by converting the raw data acquired from a scanning sensor to a comp...
— A major challenge in the path of widespread use of mobile robots is the ability to function autonomously, learning useful features from the environment and using them to adapt ...
