This paper presents a novel approach to create polygonal maps from 3D point cloud data.
The gained map is augmented with an interpretation of the scene. Our procedure produces …

In recent years, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) have been used in a wide range of
domains. As the number of UAV flights increases, central flight areas may become …

In this paper we present a new open source software package for automatic generation of
polygonal 3D maps from point cloud data for robotic purposes called" Las Vegas …

Autonomous service robots that assist in housekee**, serve as butlers, guide visitors
through exhibitions in museums and trade fairs, or provide care to elderly and disabled …

Using high resolution laser scanners, it is possible to create consistent 3D point clouds of
large outdoor environments in a short time. Mobile systems are able to measure whole cities …

Obstacle detection and localization behaviours have shown to work robustly in 2D perceived
environment. With the progress of proximity sensors, precisely the emergence of 3D vision …

This paper proposes Point-cloud Fast Filter (PFF), an algorithm to process efficiently 3D data
from point-cloud sensors in order to build traversability maps for service robots. Our method …

In this paper we describe two concrete applications of visibility to robotics. Both applications
are related to the situation in which a robot is in a known environment, of which a map is …

Der vorliegende Projektbericht gibt einen Überblick über das Verbundprojekt „LiSA–
Assistenzroboter in Laboren von Life-Science-Unternehmen “, das zwischen April 2006 und …
