Active SLAM using Connectivity Graphs as Priors

IROS 2019poster

Mobile robots can be considered completely autonomous if they embed active algorithms for Simultaneous Localization And Mapping (SLAM). This means that the robot is able to autonomously, or actively, explore and create a reliable map of the environment, while simultaneously estimating its pose. In t…

Robust LiDAR-based localization in architectural floor plans

IROS 2017poster

Modern automation demands mobile robots to be robustly localized in complex scenarios. Current localization systems typically use maps that require to be built and interpreted by experienced operators, increasing deployment costs as well as reducing the adaptability of robots to rearrangements in th…

Maximum likelihood remission calibration for groups of heterogeneous laser scanners

ICRA 2015poster

Laser range scanners are commonly used in mobile robotics to enable a robot to sense the spatial configuration of its environment. In addition to the range measurements, most scanners provide remission values, representing the intensity of the returned light pulse. These values add a visual componen…
