Most current mobile robots are designed to determine their actions according to their positions. Before making a decision, they need to localize themselves. Thus, their observation...
This paper aims at a discussion of the structure of the SLAM problem. The analysis is not strictly formal but based both on informal studies and mathematical derivation. The first ...
Wheel sinkage is an important indicator of mobile robot mobility in natural outdoor terrains. This paper presents a vision-based method to measure the sinkage of a rigid robot whee...

Two basic tasks must be performed by an olfactory robot tracking a specific odor source : navigate in a turbulent odor plume and recognize an odor regardless of its concentration....
This article presents a very efficient SLAM algorithm that works by hierarchically dividing a map into local regions and subregions. At each level of the hierarchy each region sto...
