In this paper, we study the feature-based map merging problem in robot networks. While in
operation, each robot observes the environment and builds and maintains a local map …

Moving obstacle avoidance is a fundamental requirement for any robot operating in real
environments, where pedestrians, bicycles, and cars are present. In this paper, we propose …

This is an introduction to multicast routing, which is the study of methods for routing from one
source to many destinations, or from many sources to many destinations. Multicast is …

In this paper, we propose and validate a framework for visual navigation with collision
avoidance for a wheeled mobile robot. Visual navigation consists of following a path …

The vision-aided inertial navigation system is of vital importance and great urgency to
guarantee accurate and reliable navigation information for unmanned ground vehicles …

A new method for vision-aided navigation based on three-view geometry is presented. The
main goal of the proposed method is to provide position estimation in GPS-denied …

Real-world environments such as houses and offices change over time, meaning that a
mobile robot's map will become out of date. In this work, we introduce a method to update …

Owing to advantages of large workspace and flexible movement, wheeled mobile robots are
widely applied in industry. With vision module for environment perception, visual servoing of …

We present two visual servoing controllers (pose-based and image-based) enabling mobile
robots with a fixed pinhole camera to reach and follow a continuous path drawn on the …

Tensors are multi-way arrays which can be used to model systems spanning many domains.
This work proposes to use tensors for characterizing, analyzing, and designing multi-domain …
