Odometry is the most widely used method for determining the momentary position of a
mobile robot. This paper introduces practical methods for measuring and reducing odometry …

This paper describes a vision-based navigation method in an indoor environment for an
autonomous mobile robot which can avoid obstacles. In this method, the self-localization of …

A mobile robot requires a perception of its local environment for both sensor-based
locomotion and for position estimation. Occupancy grids, based on ultrasonic range data …

This paper introduces a method for measuring odometry errors in mobile robots and for
expressing these errors quantitatively. When measuring odometry errors, one must …

This paper is concerned with the problem of reactive navigation for a mobile robot in an
unknown clustered environment. We will define reactive navigation as a mapping between …

This paper describes a new approach to mobile robot position estimation, based on
principal component analysis of laser range data. An eigenspace is constructed from the …

This work considers the problem of position and position-uncertainty estimation for
atonomous vehicles during power black-out, where it cannot be assumed that any position …

This paper describes a new approach to the integration and control of continuously
operating visual processes. Visual processes are expressed as transformations which map …

This paper describes the results of experiments using an appearance manifold of a scene to
estimate the position and orientation of a mobile robot. These experiments use principal …

Reactive control for a mobile robot can be defined as a mapping from a perceptual space to
a command space. This mapping can be hard-coded by the user (potential fields, fuzzy …
