This paper studies the problem of mobile robot mapbuilding using a low-accuracy RFID sensor. In recent years, there has been increasing number of mobile robot systems using RFID l...
— Nonholonomic mobile robots are characterized by no-slip constraints. However, in many practical situations, slips are inevitable. In this work, we develop a theoretical and sys...
A mobile robot with various types of sensors via ubiquitous networks is introduced. We designed a mobile robot composed of TCP/IP network, wireless camera and several sensors in a...
Inspection of an environment is often limited to a single video feed, provenient from a camera assembled on a mobile robot. This is known as the keyhole effect. In addition to thi...
People detection and tracking is a key issue for social robot design and effective human robot interaction. This paper addresses the problem of detecting people with a mobile robo...
— Gas distribution modelling constitutes an ideal application area for mobile robots, which – as intelligent mobile gas sensors – offer several advantages compared to station...

— This paper presents the investigation on mobile manipulation of a self-reconfigurable tracked mobile robot, using its tracks for both manipulation and locomotion. It is desira...
— A mobile robot that accomplishes high level tasks needs to be able to classify the objects in the environment and to determine their location. In this paper, we address the pro...
