Research in the field of social robotics is allowing service robots to operate in environments
with people. In the aim of realizing the vision of humans and robots coexisting in the same …

Autonomous vehicles need an accurate, up-to-date, 3D map to localize themselves with
respect to their surroundings. Today, map collection runs infrequently and uses a fleet of …

Intelligent mobile vehicles asks for the ability to learn to comprehend immediate
surroundings similar to human cognition and autonomously navigate in an unknown scene …

Low-cost Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) receivers and monocular cameras are
widely used in daily activities. The complementary nature of these two devices is ideal for …

With monocular Visual-Inertial Odometry (VIO) system, 3D point cloud and camera motion
can be estimated simultaneously. Because pure sparse 3D points provide a structureless …

In general, optimal motion planning can be performed both locally and globally. In such a
planning, the choice in favor of either local or global planning technique mainly depends on …

Due to recent advances in mobile robotics, applications involving multiple robots have
become the focus of research in this area. Communication and data exchange among …

Autonomous navigation of mobile robots in complex environments is challenging. Solving
the problems of inaccuracy localization and frequent tracking losses of mobile robots in …

In this paper, we present a method to efficiently generate large, free, and guaranteed convex
space among arbitrarily cluttered obstacles. Our method operates directly on point clouds …

For pose stabilization task of nonholonomic mobile robots, this article proposes a novel
integrated interactive framework, bridging the gap between visual servoing and …
