Efficiently monitoring environmental conditions across large indoor spaces (such as
warehouses, factories or data centers) is an important problem with many applications …

A critical requirement for safe autonomous navigation of a planetary rover is the ability to
accurately estimate the traversability of the terrain. This work considers the problem of …

Obtaining a comprehensive model of large and complex terrain typically entails the use of
both multiple sensory modalities and multiple data sets. This paper demonstrates the use of …

Traversability maps are a global spatial representation of the relative difficulty in driving
through a local region. These maps support simple optimisation of robot paths and have …

A key issue in mobile robot applications involves building a map of the environment that may
be used by the robot for path planning. In this paper, a new approach for uneven …

This work consists of a method enabling an autonomous mobile robot to follow a generated
path in 3D. Initially, this work deals with the problem of mobile robot displacements to …

For a planetary rover to successfully traverse across unstructured terrain autonomously, one
of the major challenges is to assess its local traversability such that it can plan a trajectory to …
