The division of floor plans or navigation maps into single rooms or similarly meaningful
semantic units is central to numerous tasks in robotics such as topological mapping …

The evolution of contemporary mobile robotics has given thrust to a series of additional
conjunct technologies. Of such is the semantic mapping, which provides an abstraction of …

Augmented humanity (AH) is a term that has been mentioned in several research papers.
However, these papers differ in their definitions of AH. The number of publications dealing …

We present a systematic survey of computational research in humanrobot interaction (HRI)
over the past decade. Computational HRI is the subset of the field that is specifically …

Classification of spatial regions based on semantic information in an indoor environment
enables robot tasks such as navigation or mobile manipulation to be spatially aware. The …

An important part of current research on appearance based mapping works towards
semantic representations of the environment, which may allow autonomous systems to …

In this paper, we present a novel semi-supervised clustering approach based on Markov
process. It deals with data which include abundant local constraints. We apply the designed …

Autonomous navigation and recognition of the environment are fundamental abilities for
people extensively studied in computer vision and robotics fields. Expansion of low cost …

This study addresses the robot that waits for users while they shop. In order to wait, the robot
needs to understand which locations are appropriate for waiting. We investigated how …

This paper introduces a novel approach to topo-logical place detection. The approach is
based on previously proposed bubble space representation-where all sensory features and …
