Aseba Meets D-Bus: From the Depths of a Low-Level Event-

Francesco Mondada, Stéphane Magnenat

The robotics research community has clearly acknowledged the need of open and standard software stacks to promote reuse of code and developments. However, to date no particular project has prevailed. We suggest that one possible reason for this is that mos ...

Containment Control in Mobile Networks

Giancarlo Ferrari Trecate

In this paper, the problem of driving a collection of mobile robots to a given target destination is studied. In particular, we are interested in achieving this transfer in an orderly manner so as to ensure that the agents remain in the convex polytope spa ...

Odor Source Localization with Mobile Robots

Alcherio Martinoli, Thomas Lochmatter, Xavier Raemy

Because of their excellent olfactory sense, dogs are often used to find bombs, mines, drugs, or people buried by avalanches. For such applications, autonomous mobile robots could be used in the future. Electronic sensors already exist for a wide variety of ...

Feature-based 3D SLAM

Jan Weingarten

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 ...

Topological SLAM

Adriana Tapus

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 ...

Precise Bearing Angle Measurement Based on Omnidirectional Conic Sensor and Defocusing

Roland Siegwart, Davide Scaramuzza

Recent studies on multi-robot localization have shown that the uncertainty of robot location may be considerably reduced by optimally fusing odometry and the relative angles of sight (bearing) among the team members. However, the latter requires the capabi ...

A Control Method for Stable and Smooth Path Following of Mobile Robots

Roland Siegwart

This paper addresses the problem of mobile robot navigation in indoor cluttered environments. A new algorithm for both longitudinal and lateral real-time control of wheel-based mobile robots has been proposed. Its main characteristic is smooth and stable f ...

Slam based on quantities invariant of the robot's configuration

Roland Siegwart, Nicola Tomatis

This paper presents a solution to the Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) problem in the stochastic map framework for a mobile robot navigating in an indoor environment. The approach is based on the concept of the relative map. The idea consists i ...

Topological Global Localization and Mapping with Fingerprint and Uncertainty

Roland Siegwart, Nicola Tomatis, Adriana Tapus

Navigation in unknown or partially unknown environments remains one of the biggest challenges in today's mobile robotics. Environmental modeling, perception, localization and mapping are all needed for a successful approach. The contribution of this paper ...
