Research and development of autonomous mobile robotic solutions that can perform
several active agricultural tasks (pruning, harvesting, mowing) have been growing. Robots …

The paper surveys recent advances in underwater vehicle navigation and identifies future
research challenges. Improvements in underwater navigation sensor technology and …

Visual place recognition is a challenging problem due to the vast range of ways in which the
appearance of real-world places can vary. In recent years, improvements in visual sensing …

This paper describes the simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) problem and the
essential methods for solving the SLAM problem and summarizes key implementations and …

We present a real-time algorithm which can recover the 3D trajectory of a monocular
camera, moving rapidly through a previously unknown scene. Our system, which we dub …

In this paper, we present an extended Kalman filter (EKF)-based algorithm for real-time
vision-aided inertial navigation. The primary contribution of this work is the derivation of a …

This paper discusses the recursive Bayesian formulation of the simultaneous localization
and mapping (SLAM) problem in which probability distributions or estimates of absolute or …

In this paper, we present incremental smoothing and mapping (iSAM), which is a novel
approach to the simultaneous localization and mapping problem that is based on fast …

This article provides a comprehensive introduction into the simultaneous localization and
mapping problem, better known in its abbreviated form as SLAM. SLAM addresses the …

Underwater robot positioning and navigation achieve autonomous underwater robot
movement based on the premise that positioning obtains the coordinates of the relative …
