— This paper addresses the problem of laser scanner failure on mirrors and windows. Mirrors and glasses are quite common objects that appear in our daily lives. However, while la...
Abstract— We consider the problem of optimizing the trajectory of a mobile sensor with perfect localization whose task is to estimate a stochastic, perhaps multidimensional fiel...
Building a spatially consistent model is a key functionality to endow a mobile robot with autonomy. Without an initial map or an absolute localization means, it requires to concurr...

This paper presents a new efficient algorithm for simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM), using multiple overlapping submaps, each built with respect to a local frame of re...
