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 ...
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 ...
Robots are rapidly evolving from factory workhorses to robot-companions. The future of robots, as our companions, is highly dependent on their abilities to understand, interpret and represent the environment in an efficient and consistent fashion, in a ...
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. Usually localization is performed based on a purely geo ...
Mobile robots are gradually appearing in our daily environments. In order to autonomously navigate in real world environments and interact with objects and humans, robots are facing various major technological challenges. Among the required key competences ...
Active vision may be useful to perform landmark-based navigation where landmark relationship requires active scanning of the environment. In this article we explore this hypothesis by evolving the neural system controlling vision and behavior of a mobile r ...
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 ...
This paper presents an improved feature-based 3D SLAM approach for a mobile robot equipped with a rotating laser scanner. The features are represented within the SPmodel, with associated planar segment information based on decimated triangle sets. An Exten ...
This doctoral thesis deals with an open subproblem of robot navigation, namely simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) in three-dimensional space. The goal is to develop a system which is capable of localizing a mobile robot in a reliable way and at t ...
Fully autonomous control of ultra-light indoor airplanes has not yet been achieved because the strong limitations on the kind of sensors that can be embedded make it difficult to obtain good estimations of altitude. We propose to revisit altitude control b ...
