The Geodetic Engineering Laboratory at EPFL has designed a mobile mapping system to determine the geometry of the road: the Photobus. This paper describes major steps that move the Photobus towards a real-time mapping system. ...
The odometry error of a mobile robot contains both sys- tematic and non-systematic components. The first ones are independent of the environment while the second ones depend on the interaction of the robot with the environ- ment where the robot moves. In t ...
In this paper the metric and topological paradigm are integrated in a single system for both localization and map building. A global topological map connects local metric maps, allowing a compact environment model, which does not require global metric cons ...
We describe a new experimental approach whereby an indoor flying robot evolves the ability to navigate in a textured room using only visual information and neuromorphic control. The architecture of a spiking neural circuit, which is connected to the vision ...
Autonomous robots may some day be able to behave like an animal, be accepted by the animal as a conspecific and influence the individual as well as the collective behaviour of the animal and its conspecifics. With this objective in mind we report here the ...
This paper starts with a discussion of the open challenges in the SLAM problem. In our opinion they can be grouped in two main and distinct areas: convergence of the built map and computation requirement for real world application. To deal with the previou ...
We describe an incremental approach towards the development of autonomous indoor flyers that use only vision to navigate in textured environments. In order to cope with the severe weight and energy constraints of such systems, we use spiking neural control ...
In this paper simultaneous localization and map building is performed with a hybrid, metric - topological, approach. A global topological map connects local metric maps, allowing a compact environment model, which does not require global metric consistency ...
