|
|
Simultaneous Localization and Mapping We are developing a geometric mapping strategy that directs a mobile robot to explore an unknown environment while taking into consideration sensor and encoder uncertainty. |
|
|
The Arc Transversal Median Improving the azimuth resolution of conventional Polaroid ultrasonic sensors by using intersection arcs, filtering the intersections, and then taking the median results in a 10-fold improvement in azimuth resolution. |
|
 |
Vacuum Cleaning Robots We are developing an inexpensive vacuum cleaner robot. |
|
 |
Visual Localization The visual localization system is being developed to give a mobile robot the ability to locate its own position. The system exploits a CCD camera with colored landmarks and yields a robust and accurate localization performance. |
