In the project Autonomous City Explorer, an interactive robot is designed to find its way to a given destination in unknown urban environments by interacting with pedestrians. Considering applications in a human dominated environment, the robot can be sent to a destination by tracking a landmark selected by users and described by 2D image features. To achieve a natural landmark selection from the...
In the autonomous city explorer (ACE) project a mobile robot is developed, which is capable of finding its way to a given destination in an unknown urban environment.

Inspired by the behavior of humans in unknown environments, ACE must...
As robots are gradually leaving highly structured factory environments and moving into human populated environments, they need to possess more complex cognitive abilities. Not only do they have to operate efficiently and safely in natural populated environments, but also be able to achieve higher levels of cooperation and interaction with humans. The autonomous city explorer (ACE) project envisions...
