A core challenge in probabilistic map** is to extract meaningful uncertainty information
from data registration methods. While this has been investigated in ICP-based scan …

Exploration of unknown environments remains one of the fundamental problems of mobile
robotics. It is also a prime example for a task that can benefit significantly from multi-robot …

The online generation of underwater image maps or mosaicking is of high interest for
underwater robots, eg, for autonomous navigation, exploration, or object detection. Here, a …

Being able to generate maps is a significant capability for mobile robots. Measuring the
performance of robotic systems in general, but also particularly of their map**, is important …

Marine robots are so far mainly restricted to usage in open sea application where 2D maps
are sufficient, however, full 3D information becomes more and more important in complex …

Abstract Simultaneous Localization and Map** (SLAM) is one of the cornerstones of
robotics research. Any mobile robot which is to operate in a previously unknown area …

Exploration can be termed as the process of autonomously navigating in an environment in
order to build a map. This is one of the core components for autonomous robots. Mobile …

The 2009 Jacobs Robotics rescue virtual robots team is described in this paper. The robotics
group at Jacobs University Bremen has been active in Rescue since 2001 and in Rescue …
