The COVID-19 pandemic has become a worldwide concern and has motivated the entire scientific community to join efforts to fight it. Studies have shown that SARS-CoV-2 remains viable onsurfaces for days, increasing the chances of human infection. Environmental disinfection is thus an important action
Mobile robots can be used in numerous outdoor tasks such as patrolling, delivery and military applications. In order to deploy mobile robots in this kind of environment, where there are different challenges like slopes, elevations, or even holes, they should be able to detect such challenges and det…
Many applications with mobile robots require self-localization in indoor maps. While such maps can be previously generated by SLAM strategies, there are various localization approaches that use 2D floor plans as reference input. In this paper, we present a localization strategy using floor plan as m…
Service robots are becoming a reality across homes. Still, the range of applications supported by such robots remains tied to their ability to self-localize in the environment. Man-made constructions often have a documented blueprint which can be used as input information for robot localization and…
