One of the most important and useful feature of autonomous mobile robots is their ability to
adopt themselves to operate in unstructured environment. Today robots are performing …

Over the past few decades, topological segmentation has been much studied, especially for
structured environments. In this work, we first propose a set of criteria to assess the quality of …

In this paper we present a new approach for natural feature extraction using a laser scanner
for the purpose of localization in outdoor environments. In semi-structured outdoor …

Remotely sensed imagery is being increasingly used for the development of the earth
observation satellites to investigate human activities, to monitor environmental changes and …

This article presents a new methodology to build, in real-time, compact local and global
maps for outdoor navigation. The environment information is obtained from a 3D laser …

Simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) has been an emerging research topic in the
fields of robotics, autonomous driving, and unmanned aerial vehicles over the past thirty …

La décomposition du problème de la mobilité pour les robots mobiles autonomes amène à
définir une architecture classique en robotique, organisée suivant un fonctionnement …

This paper discusses the techniques and their applications in the development of a path
planning system composed of three modules, namely: global vision (GVM), trajectory …

This article presents a new algorithm to recognize natural distinctive places such as
corridors, halls, narrowings, corridors with doors opening on the left side, etc., from indoor …

Sensor-based localization is one of the fundamental problems in mobile robots. We present
a technique for online robot localization in an a priori known indoor environment. Our …
