Robust Monte Carlo Localization for Mobile Robots
, 2001
"... Mobile robot localization is the problem of determining a robot's pose from sensor data. This article presents a family of probabilistic localization algorithms known as Monte Carlo Localization (MCL). MCL algorithms represent a robot's belief by a set of weighted hypotheses (samples), whi ..."

A Probabilistic Approach to Concurrent Mapping and Localization for Mobile Robots
- Machine Learning
, 1998
"... . This paper addresses the problem of building large-scale geometric maps of indoor environments with mobile robots. It poses the map building problem as a constrained, probabilistic maximum-likelihood estimation problem. It then devises a practical algorithm for generating the most likely map from ..."

The Vector Field Histogram -- Fast Obstacle Avoidance For Mobile Robots
- IEEE JOURNAL OF ROBOTICS AND AUTOMATION
, 1991
"... A new real-time obstacle avoidance method for mobile robots has been developed and implemented. This method, named the vector field histogram(VFH), permits the detection of unknown obstacles and avoids collisions while simultaneously steering the mobile robot toward the target. The VFH method uses a ..."

The Player/Stage Project: Tools for Multi-Robot and Distributed Sensor Systems
- In Proceedings of the 11th International Conference on Advanced Robotics
, 2003
"... This paper describes the Player/Stage software tools applied to multi-robot, distributed-robot and sensor network systems. Player is a robot device server that provides network transparent robot control. Player seeks to constrain controller design as little as possible; it is device independent, non ..."

, non-locking and language- and style-neutral. Stage is a lightweight, highly configurable robot simulator that supports large populations. Player/Stage is a community Free Software project. Current usage of Player and Stage is reviewed, and some interesting research opportunities opened up
Using occupancy grids for mobile robot perception and navigation
- Computer
, 1989
"... o widen the range of application and deployment of robots, both in research and in industrial contexts, we need to develop more powerful and flexible robotic systems exhibiting higher degrees of autonomy and able to sense, plan, and operate in unstructured environments. For that, the robot must be a ..."

A Tutorial on Visual Servo Control
- IEEE Transactions on Robotics and Automation
, 1996
"... This paper provides a tutorial introduction to visual servo control of robotic manipulators. Since the topic spans many disciplines our goal is limited to providing a basic conceptual framework. We begin by reviewing the prerequisite topics from robotics and computer vision, including a brief review ..."

The Anatomy of a Context-Aware Application
- WIRELESS NETWORKS, VOL
, 1999
"... We describe a platform for context-aware computing which enables applications to follow mobile users as they move around a building. The platform is particularly suitable for richly equipped, networked environments. The only item a user is required to carry is a small sensor tag, which identifies th ..."

Protocols for self-organization of a wireless sensor network
- IEEE Personal Communications
, 2000
"... We present a suite of algorithms for self-organization of wireless sensor networks, in which there is a scalably large number of mainly static nodes with highly constrained energy resources. The protocols further support slow mobility by a subset of the nodes, energy-efficient routing, and formation ..."
