Particle filter-based trajectory estimation with passive UHF RFID fingerprints in unknown environments
Abstract— In this paper we present a novel approach to estimating the trajectory of a robot by means of inexpensive passive RFID tags and odometry in unknown environments. We sho...

3D model based pose estimation for omnidirectional stereovision
— Robot vision has a lot to win as well with wide field of view induced by catadioptric cameras as with redundancy brought by stereovision. Merging these two characteristics in ...

Graph signature for self-reconfiguration planning of modules with symmetry
— In our previous works we had developed a framework for self-reconfiguration planning based on graph signature and graph edit-distance. The graph signature is a fast isomorphism...
