We introduce a new statistical modelling technique for building occupancy maps. The
problem of mapping is addressed as a classification task where the robot's environment is …

Reliable and efficient perception and reasoning in dynamic and densely cluttered
environments are still major challenges for driver assistance systems. Most of today's …

Describes the robotic wheelchair MAid (Mobility Aid for Elderly and Disabled People).
MAid's task is to support and transport people with limited motion skills. It is based on a …

In the field of computer vision, the detection and tracking of moving objects from a moving
observer is a complex and computationally demanding task. Using a laser range scanner …

Building a model of the environment is essential for mobile robotics. It allows the robot to
reason about its surroundings and plan actions according to its intentions. To enable safe …

This paper presents experiences from Robotics, a long-term project at the Swiss National
Exposition Expo. 02, where mobile robots served as tour guides. It includes a description of …

(57) ABSTRACT A vehicle convoy system for use in connection with a vehicle, wherein the
vehicle includes at least one drive mechanism to impart drive to the vehicle, includes at least …

The Bayesian occupancy filter (BOF)(Coue et al., 2002) has achieved promising results in
the object tracking applications. This paper presents a new development of BOF which …

This paper describes a map generation method using an omnidirectional stereo and a laser
range finder. Omnidirectional stereo has an advantage of 3D range acquisition, while it may …

This paper describes a real-time omnidirectional stereo system and its application to
obstacle detection and tracking for a mobile robot. The stereo system uses two …
