This paper presents a programmable logic-based agent control system that interleaves planning, plan execution and perception. In this system, a program is a collection of logical f...
—The simultaneous localization and map building (SLAM) problem asks if it is possible for an autonomous vehicle to start in an unknown location in an unknown environment and then...

In this paper simultaneous localization and map building is performed with a hybrid, metric - topological, approach. A global topological map connects local metric maps, allowing ...

—This article describes a rigorous and complete framework for the simultaneous localization and map building problem for mobile robots: the symmetries and perturbations map (SPma...
This paper centres on the problem of estimating the location of features in the environment within a map building framework for a mobile robot with a single camera. Most of the ex...
— In robotics, appearance-based topological map building consists in infering the topology of the environment explored by a robot from its sensor measurements. In this paper, we ...
