Mapping is an activity of making a useful description of an environment. Not only geometric information such as free space shape but also semantic information such as object names are sometimes important. We call such a map making environment information summarization because how to summarize may change depending on the purpose of the map and the context. One important aspect of such summarization...
This paper describes a new approach to SLAM problems using low quality range data. Vision sensors are useful for acquiring various kinds of environmental information but range data obtained by stereo vision is less reliable than other active sensors like laser range finders. False stereo matches often result in spurious obstacles, which may degrade the map when directly used in existing SLAM methods...
This paper describes a vision-based interface for instructing robot motion easily. An interface that makes the robot move in the same way as user's motion is effective for an intuitive motion instruction. Such an interface can be realized by estimating the pose (position and orientation) of the interface and executing move commands for making the robot take the same pose.We estimate the pose of the...
This paper describes a method of simultaneously estimating the road region and the ego-motion for outdoor mobile robots. Temporal integration of sensor data is effective for robust estimation of road region. To integrate sensor data obtained at multiple places, the robotpsilas ego-motion has to be estimated simultaneously. It is also necessary to use multiple sensors for reliable estimation because...
