In Simultaneous Localisation and Mapping (SLAM) the correspondence problem, specifically detecting cycles, is one of the most difficult challenges for an autonomous mobile robot. ...

Niching is an important technique for multimodal optimization. Most existing niching methods require specification of certain niching parameters in order to perform well. These nic...
Abstract. In this paper we compare two methods for intrinsic dimensionality (ID) estimation based on optimally topology preserving maps (OTPMs). The rst one is a direct approach, w...
Instabilities of robot motion are caused by topological reasons. In this paper we find a relation between the topological properties of a configuration space (the structure of its...
Scalar functions defined on a topological space Ω are at the core of many applications such as shape matching, visualization and physical simulations. Topological persistence i...
