This article proposes an experience-based route map continuous learning method and
applies it into robot planning and navigation. First of all, the framework for robot route map …

Shared control for human-robot teams-where both the human and the robot's autonomy
provide commands to the hardware-offers advantages over fully teleoperated or fully …

In the future, the goal of service robots is to operate in human-centric indoor environments,
requiring close cooperation with humans. In order to enable the robot to perform various …

In this work, a clustering approach to obtain compact topological models of an environment
is developed and evaluated. The usefulness of these models is tested by studying their utility …

With the rapid development of artificial intelligence technology, indoor mobile robots are
widely applied in human's daily life. Traditional SLAM-based methods mostly rely on low …

Inspired by the multi-scale nature of hippocampal place cells, a biologically inspired model
based on a multi-scale spatial representation for goal-directed navigation is proposed in …
