The illegal dumping of aluminum and plastic into cities and marine areas leads to negative
impacts on the ecosystem and contributes to increased environmental pollution. Although …

Research on the automated control of robots for wiping curved surfaces includes studies on
cleaning contaminated areas and controlling the end-effector posture to apply a constant …

This study proposes a method for estimating the initial position of a mobile robot during a
mobile robot experiment using expansion resetting. Depending on the type of sensor …

Localization is fundamental to enable the use of autonomous mobile robots. In this work, we
use magnetic-based localization. As Earth's geomagnetic field is stable in time and is not …

This paper describes a study of the simple system integration of a mobile robot in the
Nakanoshima Robot Challenge 2022. To improve the operability of the robot at the start of …

The maintenance of public toilets, such as those found in convenience stores, presents
challenges in the era of limited human resources. Consequently, the development of an …

This paper describes a method for simplified implementation of the mobile service robot for
intelligent environments based on open-source products for the Nakanoshima Robot …

Stable perception of its environment is essential to navigating an autonomous mobile robot
safely. Most autonomous mobile robots employ a LiDAR (light detection and ranging) to …

Most data fusion methods assume all data sources to be conditionally independent. In most
cases, this is a practical choice, rather than an assumption derived from the observed …

Wireless signal strength based localization can enable robust localization for robots using
inexpensive sensors. For this, a location-to-signal-strength map has to be learned for each …
