— This paper describes a view-based localization method in outdoor environments. An important issue in viewbased localization is to cope with the change of object views due to ch...
— A shell is a body enclosed between two closely spaced and curved surfaces. Classical theory of shells [38], [33], [16] assumes a parametrization along the lines of principal cu...
—This paper presents an alternative formulation for the Bayesian feature-based simultaneous localisation and mapping (SLAM) problem, using a random finite set approach. For a fe...

— In this paper we present a loop closure method for a handheld single–camera SLAM system based on our previous work on relocalisation. By finding correspondences between the ...
—This paper introduces a new approach to develop robots that can learn general affordance relations from their experiences. Our approach is a part of larger efforts to develop a ...

— A series of kinodynamic sampling-based planners have appeared over the last decade to deal with high dimensional problems for robots with realistic motion constraints. Yet, of...
—Path tracking control on non-flat terrain is an important capability of mobile robots operating in outdoor environments. A path tracking controller based on the model predictive...
— This paper deals with a control approach dedicated to stable limit cycle generation for underactuated mechanical systems. The proposed approach is based on partial nonlinear fe...
Abstract— Robotic middlewares increasingly allow the seamless integration of multiple heterogeneous robots into one distributed system. Unfortunately, very simple devices like ta...
