This paper presents preliminary results of the application of two-Kinect cameras system on a
two-wheeled indoor mobile robot for off-line optimal path planning and execution. In our …

Robust, scalable place recognition is a core competency for many robotic applications.
However, when revisiting places over and over, many state-of-the-art approaches exhibit …

In this paper, we consider a robotic automated storage and retrieval system (AS/RS) where a
Cartesian robot picks and palletises items onto a mixed pallet for any order. This robotic …

A well-known, crucial problem for indoor positioning of mobile agents (eg, robots) equipped
with exteroceptive sensors is related to the need to deploy reference landmarks in a given …

Navigation in an unknown environment without any preexisting positioning infrastructure
has always been hard for mobile robots. This paper presents a self-deployable ultra …

Vision-aided inertial navigation (VAIN) system offers a means to enable high-accuracy
autonomous navigation for planetary landing. The VAIN system provides precise state …

We present a method for image-guided exploration for mobile robotic systems. Our
approach extends ergodic exploration methods, a recent exploration approach that …

Adding fiducial markers to a scene is a well-known strategy for making visual localization
algorithms more robust. Traditionally, these marker locations are selected by humans who …

The operation of mobile robots in unknown environments typically requires building maps
during exploration. As the exploration time and environment size increase, the amount of …

Настоящая монография является первой в нашей стране попыткой систематического
изложения принципов построения социумов роботов, то есть использования моделей и …
