Simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) in unknown GPS‐denied environments is a
major challenge for researchers in the field of mobile robotics. Many solutions for single …

Tall buildings are concentrated in urban areas. The outer walls of buildings are vertically
erected to the ground and almost flat. Therefore, the vertical corners that meet the vertical …

This paper proposes several contributions to the development of an agricultural robot
performing spraying task autonomously, in the framework of vineyard or orchard. Since an …

An Extended Line Map (ELM)-based precise vehicle localization method is proposed in this
paper, and is implemented using 3D Light Detection and Ranging (LIDAR). A binary …

Navigation in a GPS-denied environment is an essential requirement for increased robotics
autonomy. While this is in some sense solved for a single robot, the next challenge is to …

The use of robots as human replacement for gas inspection and searching has significant
benefit to reduce number human involved in accident. Gas detection method has difficulty …

Man-made environments such as households, offices, or factory floors are typically
composed of linear structures. Accordingly, polylines are a natural way to accurately …

This paper presents a method of particle filter localization for autonomous vehicles, based
on two‐dimensional (2D) laser sensor measurements and road features. To navigate an …

The recent trend of deploying mobile robots in large indoor environments calls for
development of efficient map representation techniques. Compared to the more common …
