Abstract: This article presents a 3D point cloud map-merging framework for egocentric heterogeneous multi-robot exploration, based on overlap detection and alignment, that is independent of a manual ...

Abstract: Goal-driven mobile robot navigation in map-less environments requires effective state representations for reliable decision-making. Inspired by the favorable properties of Bird's-Eye View ...

Autonomous robots face a persistent challenge – navigating complex, unpredictable environments without human intervention. Standard navigation systems typically rely on GPS to locate a robot on a map, ...

“Oh my gosh, I forgot to tell you on the phone. I saw a bird today,” Brooke Phillips chirped to her husband, Donavon. She was secretly recording their interaction as he walked around their home in his ...

Researchers have built a new navigation system based on how ants, birds, and mice move around, which could help robots navigate. Ants can track their steps and direction internally to know where they ...

The self-driving future is further off than we think, says the CEO of Lyft, David Risher. According to Risher, “The technology doesn’t work yet, government regulators aren’t ready, and consumers don’t ...

Researchers have reportedly built a new navigation system based on how certain animals navigate the world around them. Focussed primarily on animals such as ants, birds, and mice, this discovery could ...
