A state-action neural network supervising navigation and manipulation behaviors for complex task reproduction

In this abstract, we combine work from [Lagarde et al., 2010] and [Calinon et al., 2009] for learning and reproduction of, respectively, navigation tasks on a mobile robot and gestures with a robot arm. Both approaches build a sensory motor map under human ...

A realistic benchmark for visual indoor place recognition

Barbara Caputo

An important competence for a mobile robot system is the ability to localize and perform context interpretation. This is required to perform basic navigation and to facilitate local specific services. Recent advances in vision have made this modality a via ...

Is there a geometric module for spatial orientation? Insights from a rodent navigation model

Wulfram Gerstner, Ricardo Andres Chavarriaga Lozano, Thomas Strösslin, Angelo Arleo

Modern psychological theories of spatial cognition postulate the existence of a geometric module for reorientation. This concept is derived from experimental data showing that in rectangular arenas with distinct landmarks in the corners, disoriented rats o ...

Terrain-based Navigation for Underwater Vehicles Using Side Scan Sonar Images

Hannes Bleuler, Severin Stalder

Underwater navigation challenges the research community as a reliable navigation system is unavailable. Correctly matched landmarks could compensate the drift of dead reckoning navigation systems. Furthermore, they could be useful in side scan sonar image ...

Organ Surface Markerless Tracking

Coralie Reissner

Today’s surgical navigation systems are difficult to use for deformable organs. State of the art technology struggles to continuously update and display preoperative information such that it corresponds to the actual position of the organ. An update method ...

Endoscopic navigation for minimally invasive suturing

Charles Baur, Gábor Székely

Manipulating small objects such as needles, screws or plates inside the human body during minimally invasive surgery can be very difficult for less experienced surgeons due to the loss of 3D depth perception. Classical navigation techniques are often incap ...

Improving pedestrian dynamics modelling using fuzzy logic

Kamiar Aminian, Bertrand Merminod, Phillip Tomé, François Bonzon

The complementary nature of MEMS based pedestrian dead-reckoning (PDR) navigation and GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) has long been recognised. The advantages are quite clear for those applications requiring indoor positioning and that, for one r ...

Crowds of Moving Objects: Navigation Planning and Simulation

Daniel Thalmann, Helena Stephanie Grillon Le Gallennec

This paper presents a solution to interactive navigation planning and real-time simulation of a very large number of entities moving in a virtual environment. From the environment geometry analysis, we deduce a structure called navigation graph, which is t ...

Development of a robotic mobile mapping system by vision-aided inertial navigation

Fadi Atef Bayoud

Vision-based inertial-aided navigation is gaining ground due to its many potential applications. In previous decades, the integration of vision and inertial sensors was monopolised by the defence industry due to its complexity and unrealistic economic burd ...

Stereo-Based Ego-Motion Estimation Using Pixel Tracking and Iterative Closest Point

Roland Siegwart

In this paper, we present a stereovision algorithm for real-time 6DoF ego-motion estimation, which integrates normalized cross-correlation-based feature tracking and 3D stereo information in the well-known Iterative Closest Point (ICP) scheme. The proposed ...
