This work addresses the problem of mapping terrain features based on inertial and LiDAR
measurements to estimate navigation cost, for an autonomous ground robot. The navigation …

Mobile robotics is a research area that has witnessed incredible advances for the last
decades. Robot navigation is an essential task for mobile robots. Many methods are …

For autonomous navigation in difficult terrain, such as degraded environments in disaster
response scenarios, robots are required to create a map of an unknown environment and to …

This paper presents a method for LiDAR sensor-based traversability analysis for
autonomous mobile robots in urban environments. Although urban environments are …

We present a practical approach to global motion planning and terrain assessment for
ground robots in generic three‐dimensional (3D) environments, including rough outdoor …

An outdoor delivery robot requires autonomous navigation technologies, such as map
generation, driving area definition, path generation, and control. However, integrating the …

The ability to drive autonomously in heterogeneous environments without GPS, pattern
identification (eg road following), or artificial landmarks is key to field robotics. To address …

The demand for construction site automation with mobile robots is increasing due to its
advantages in potential cost-saving, productivity, and safety. To be realistically deployed in …

Autonomous navigation (also known as self-driving) has rapidly advanced in the last decade
for on-road vehicles. In contrast, off-road vehicles still lag in autonomous navigation …

Field robots require autonomy in diverse environments to navigate and map their surround-
ings efficiently. However, the lack of diverse and comprehensive datasets hinders the …
