— Mobile robots do not adequately represent the objects in their environment; this weakness hinders a robot’s ability to utilize past experience. In this paper, we describe a s...
— Today, lightweight SLAM algorithms are needed in many embedded robotic systems. In this paper the Orthogonal SLAM (OrthoSLAM ) algorithm is presented and empirically validated....
— Service robots designed for domestic settings need to navigate in an environment that they have to share with their users. Thus, they have to be able to report their current st...
Abstract. Path deformation is a technique that was introduced to generate robot motion wherein a path, that has been computed beforehand, is continuously deformed on-line in respon...
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...
