After decades of development, LIDAR and visual SLAM technology has relatively matured
and been widely used in the military and civil fields. SLAM technology enables the mobile …

In this paper, we propose a survey of the Simultaneous Localization And Mapping (SLAM)
field when considering the recent evolution of autonomous driving. The growing interest …

Part II of the tutorial has summarized the remaining building blocks of the VO pipeline:
specifically, how to detect and match salient and repeatable features across frames and …

This paper presents experimental research into the behavior of short circuit break arcs
ignited between opening contacts. The investigation is applied to arc chamber geometries …

In this work we present a novel system for autonomous mobile robot navigation. With only an
omnidirectional camera as sensor, this system is able to build automatically and robustly …

This paper proposes a new technique for vision-based robot navigation. The basic
framework is to localise the robot by comparing images taken at its current location with …

In this thesis I develop and evaluate computational methods for extracting life's patterns from
wearable sensor data. Life patterns are the reoccurring events in daily behavior, such as …

Monte Carlo localisation generally requires a metrical map of the environment to calculate a
robots position from the posterior probability density of a set of weighted samples. Image …

In this article we present an algorithm to estimate the orientation of a robot relative to an
orientation specified at the beginning of the process. This is done by computing the rotation …
