Due to its simplicity and efficiency, the pure-pursuit path tracking method has been widely
employed for planned navigation of nonholonomic ground vehicles. In this paper, we …

What is space? Is there space when there are objects to occupy it or is there space only
when there are no objects to occupy it? Can there be space without objects? These are old …

Doors are common objects in indoor environments and their detection can be used in
robotic tasks such as map-building, navigation and positioning. This work presents a new …

The way of understanding the role of perception along the intelligent robotic systems has
evolved greatly since classic approaches to the reactive behavior-based approaches …

The fusion of the A* and the dynamic windowing algorithm is commonly used for the path
planning of mobile robots in dynamic environments. However, the planned path has the …

This article reports on a map building method that integrates topological and geometric
maps created independently using multiple sensors. The procedure is termed T-SLAM to …

A multi-agent system based on behaviour for controlling the navigation task of a mobile
robot in office-like environments is presented. The set of agents is structured into a three …

This article is concerned with 2D indoor environment map** produced by a sensor data
fusion algorithm. A measurement subsystem assembled on a mobile robot uses its sensors …

Hospitals are complex and dynamic organisms that are vital to the well-being of societies.
Providing good quality healthcare is the ultimate goal of a hospital, and it is what most of us …

For robots to operate in human environments they must be able to make their own maps
because it is unrealistic to expect a user to enter a map into the robot's memory; existing …
