Sigma-Point Kalman Filters for Probabilistic Inference in.. - van der Merwe, Wan (2003)   (4 citations)  (Correct)

....superior tracking performance of the SPPF. 6.3 Robot localization TM Mobile robot localization (MRL) is the problem of estimating a robot s pose (2D position and heading) relative to a map of its environment. This problem has been recognized as one of the fundamental problems in mobile robotics [4]. The mobile robot localization problem comes in two flavors. The simpler of these is position tracking where the robots initial pose is known, and localization seeks to correct small, incremental errors in the robots odometry. More challenging is the global localization problem, also known as the ....

....o#ce, hospital, and factory floor operations. An early approach to designing path tracking controllers was to develop a specific dynamic model of the robot assuming straight line paths and a constant, slow velocity. Actions depended on the magnitudes of lateral and orientation path tracking errors [3]. However, velocity control was considered as an orthogonal concern a simplification that is warranted if the velocity is kept su#ciently low. Some studies that extend the robot s tracking ability to the cases of general curved paths and changing velocities have been carried out. Hemami et al. ....

This implies that the machines must be capable of intelligent behaviour. Based on their perceptions, they have to make decisions autonomously in every situation [1]. The computational requirements for navigation and additional, sometimes even more complex tasks are extremely high and, in most cases, demand real time processing. These demands cannot be fulfilled by the basic Khepera module. In order to solve the problem posed by the Khepera s weakness in ....

A Maximum Likelihood N-Camera Stereo Algorithm - Cox (1995)   Self-citation (Cox)   (Correct)

....views, it is desirable to minimize the correspondence error with the fewest number of additional views. An obvious question then is where successive views should be taken. This is a difficult question with interesting connections to sensing strategies in path planning, robot map making and vision [5]. A corollary to this is whether there is a minimum distance separation. Kanade et al. have rightly pointed out that small separations reduce the search space over which it is necessary to look for a match. However, it is unclear whether closely spaced intermediate views have less disambiguation ....
