Digital building representations enable and promote new forms of simulation, automation,
and information sharing. However, creating and maintaining these representations is …

Accurate assessment of progress allows managers to make adjustments to minimise costs
when deviations from the schedule occur. Current practices of predicting the performance of …

Door traversal is generally a trivial task for human beings but particularly challenging for
humanoid robots. This paper describes a holistic approach for a full-sized humanoid robot to …

An important component of human–robot interaction is the capability to associate semantic
concepts with encountered locations and objects. This functionality is essential for visually …

We consider the problem of automatically collecting semantic labels during robotic mapping
by extending the mapping system to include text detection and recognition modules. In …

Place classification is a fundamental ability that a robot should possess to carry out effective
human-robot interactions. In recent years, there is a high exploitation of artificial intelligence …

Extending metric space representations of an environment with other high level information,
such as semantic and topological representations enable a robotic device to efficiently …

Described is a system for door detection for use with an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). The
system receive a video input image from a single monocular camera. Edge points are …

Smartphone applications based on object detection techniques have recently been
proposed to assist visually impaired persons with navigating indoor environments. In the …

Human beings use doors to access rooms and corridors, to know where they are, to know
where they have to go, etc. Similarly, it would be quite useful for robots to be able to detect …
