Map Generation by Cooperative Low-Cost Robots inStructured Unknown Environments
Special issue on autonomous agents

In this paper we present some results obtained with a troupe of low-cost robots designed to cooperatively explore unknown structured orthogonal environments. In order to improve the covering of the explored zone the robots show different behaviours (...
A real-time low-computation cost human-following framework in outdoor environment for legged robots
Abstract
Legged robots have potential advantages in mobility compared with wheeled robots. Hence, legged robots are widely utilized in outdoor unstructured environments. Human-following operation is one of important tasks for outdoor robots. However, most ...
Exploring unknown environments with mobile robots using coverage maps
IJCAI'03: Proceedings of the 18th international joint conference on Artificial intelligence

In this paper we introduce coverage maps as a new way of representing the environment of a mobile robot. Coverage maps store for each cell of a given grid a posterior about the amount the corresponding cell is covered by an obstacle. Using this ...
