In this paper, we address the sensitivity of the 3D LiDAR-based localization to environmental structural ambiguity. Although existing approaches employ additional sensors, such as cameras and inertial measurement units, to account for such ambiguities, multi-sensor localization is still an open prob…
Mobile robots operating in convoys have a limited view of the terrain to be traversed if it is occluded by the preceding vehicle. Furthermore, the preceding vehicle might change the terrain geometry and eventually significantly alter its traversability by driving over the terrain. When the following…
In this paper, we focus on improving planning efficiency for ground vehicles in navigation and exploration tasks where the environment is unknown or partially known, leading to frequent updates of the navigational goal as new sensory information is acquired. Asymptotically optimal motion planners li…
In this paper, we address motion efficiency in autonomous robot exploration with multi-legged walking robots that can traverse rough terrains at the cost of lower efficiency and greater body vibration. We propose a robotic system for online and incremental learning of the terrain traversal cost that…
