Abstract--For the last decade, we have developed a visionbased architecture for mobile robot navigation. Our bio-inspired model of the navigation has proved to achieve sensory-moto...
In this paper, a new methodology to build compact local maps in real time for outdoor robot navigation is presented. The environment information is obtained from a 3-D scanner lase...
We propose a novel combination of techniques for robustly estimating the position of a mobile robot in outdoor environments using range data. Our approach applies a particle filte...
This paper describes an autonomous robot system designed to solve the challenging task of geocaching. Geocaching involves locating a goal object in an outdoor environment given on...

— We address in this paper the problem of the autonomous online learning of a sensory-motor task, demonstrated by an operator guiding the robot. For the last decade, we have deve...
Visual surveillance in outdoor environments requires the monitoring of both objects and events. The analysis is generally driven by the target application which, in turn, determin...
