In this letter, we present an autonomous navigation system for goal-driven exploration of
unknown environments through deep reinforcement learning (DRL). Points of interest (POI) …

Research in the field of social robotics is allowing service robots to operate in environments
with people. In the aim of realizing the vision of humans and robots coexisting in the same …

Visible light positioning (VLP) is a promising technology since it can provide high accuracy
indoor localization based on the existing lighting infrastructure. However, existing …

The present work proposes a method to characterize, calibrate, and compare, any 2D SLAM
algorithm, providing strong statistical evidence, based on descriptive and inferential statistics …

This paper presents the use of Google's simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM)
technique, namely Cartographer, and adaptive multistage distance scheduler (AMDS) to …

This paper proposes and implements a lightweight,“real-time” localization system (SORLA)
with artificial landmarks (reflectors), which only uses LiDAR data for the laser odometer …

Teams of mobile robots can be employed in many outdoor applications, such as precision
agriculture, search and rescue, and industrial inspection, allowing an efficient and robust …

We study algorithms for detecting and including glass objects in an optimization-based
Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) algorithm in this work. When LiDAR data is …

In this article, a novel method for crawler positioning is presented utilizing an onboard depth-
sensing camera, which can operate in semistructured, self-similar environments, using only …

The fatal injury rate for the construction industry is higher than the average for all industries.
Recently, researchers have shown an increased interest in occupational safety in the …
