This thesis is about feature-based mobile robot navigation in unknown environments. The work is focusing on solving the problem of Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) including feature extraction, estimation and complete map building solution. The ...
In this paper we derive theoretical results for the problem of on-line sensor calibration for a mobile robot. We consider the case of the odometry sensor. A first series of results regards the problem of understanding if a given system (consisting of a rob ...
Rough terrain robotics is a fast evolving field of research and a lot of effort is deployed towards enabling a greater level of autonomy for outdoor vehicles. Such robots find their application in scientific exploration of hostile environments like deserts ...
This thesis is about topological navigation, more precisely about space representation, perception, localization and mapping. All these elements are needed in order to obtain a robust and reliable framework for navigation. This is essential in order to mov ...
