Planning algorithms are impacting technical disciplines and industries around the world,
including robotics, computer-aided design, manufacturing, computer graphics, aerospace …

Now in its third edition, this textbook is a comprehensive introduction to the multidisciplinary
field of mobile robotics, which lies at the intersection of artificial intelligence, computational …

We consider the problem of localizing a robot in a known environment modeled by a simple
polygon P. We assume that the robot has a map of P but is placed at an unknown location …

We present a technique for map** an unknown environment and navigating through it
using a team of simple robots. Minimal assumptions are made about the abilities of the …

Detailed high-precision maps have proven to be essential for highly automated driving
(HAD). Nevertheless, the issue of validation of such a detailed map has hardly been covered …

A driving function relying on map data to operate is prone to failures that are due to
deviations between the real world and the map data. Hence, we transfer the concept of …

This paper deals with the validation of topological maps of an environment by an active
agent (such as a mobile robot), and the localization of an agent in a given map. The agent is …

This paper considers the problem of exploration of finite undirected graphs by a collective of
agents. Two agents-researchers simultaneously traverse a graph, read and change labels of …

High definition (HD) maps have proven to be a necessary component for safe and
comfortable automated driving (AD)[1]. Naïvely verifying HD maps requires an accurate …

We consider the problem of constructing a map of an unknown environment by an
autonomous agent such as a mobile robot. Because accurate positional information is often …
