As researchers have pushed the limits of what can be accomplished by a single robot
operating in a known or unknown environment, a greater emphasis has been placed on the …

The ability to detect changes is an essential competence that robots should possess for
increased autonomy. In several applications, such as surveillance, a robot needs to detect …

The creation of information transparency solutions to enable humans to understand robot
perception is a challenging requirement for autonomous and artificially intelligent robots to …

This article proposes a framework to detect and segment changes in robotics datasets, using
3D robotic mapping as a case study. The problem is very relevant in several application …

There are several applications for which it is important to both detect and communicate
changes in data models. For instance, in some mobile robotics applications (eg …

Accurately detecting changes in one's environment is an important ability for many
application domains, but can be challenging for humans. Autonomous robots can easily be …

This work presents an algorithm for scene change detection from point clouds to enable
autonomous robotic caretaking in future space habitats. Autonomous robotic systems will …

In this paper, we address the problem of data description using a Bayesian framework. The
goal of data description is to draw a boundary around objects of a certain class of interest to …

Visual Teach and Repeat 3 (VT&R3), a generalization of stereo VT&R, achieves long-term
autonomous path-following using topometric mapping and localization from a single rich …

The ability to detect perceptions which were never experienced before, ie novelty detection,
is an important component of autonomous robots working in real environments. It is …
