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 ...
The environment that surrounds us is very complex. Understanding and interpreting it is a very hard task. This paper proposes an approach allowing simple form recognition with a camera by using a probabilistic approach called Bayesian Programming. The main ...
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 ...
This paper addresses the problem of perception and representation of space for a mobile agent. A probabilistic hierarchical framework is suggested as a solution to this problem. The method proposed is a combination of probabilistic belief with Object Grap ...
