Probabilistic self-localization for mobile robots
Clark F. Olson
- 01 Feb 2000
TL;DR: Probabilistic self-localization techniques for mobile robots that are based on the principle of maximum-likelihood estimation are described, which performs an efficient global search of the pose space that guarantees that the best position is found according to the probabilistic map agreement measure in a discretized pose space.

Autonomous Surface Exploration for Mobile Robots
William Whittaker,Stewart J. Moorehead +1 more
- 15 Jun 2011
TL;DR: This thesis introduces a new exploration technique which actively considers how much information can be gained from taking sensor readings as well as the cost of collecting this information, and can consider multiple metrics of information simultaneously during exploration.
Localization and Sensing for Hopping Robots
TL;DR: A new localization algorithm for hopping localization that fuses camera, inertial and acceleration data to compute the most likely landing location of the robot is proposed and a new stereo system is proposed, based on omnidirectional cameras, whose physical characteristics are well suited for a hopping robot.

Stereo vision for planetary rovers: stochastic modeling to near real-time implementation
TL;DR: It is argued that the overall approach provides a unifying paradigm for practical, domain-independent stereo ranging, with high reliability and near real-time performance for low-resolution image pairs.

An autonomous sensor-based path-planner for planetary microrovers
Sharon Laubach,J.W. Burdick +1 more
- 10 May 1999
TL;DR: This paper reviews issues which are critical for successful autonomous navigation of planetary rovers, and reports on the "Wedgebug" algorithm for planetary rover navigation, which is complete, correct, requires minimal memory for storage of its world model, and uses only on-board sensors.

TL;DR: This work provides a corrected, detailed proof of a key result required for the proof of completeness and correctness of the Wedgebug algorithm, and extends this result to a broader class of environments.

TL;DR: A real-time stereo vision system that uses a Datacube MV-200 and a 68040 CPU board to produce 256/spl times/240-pixel range images in about 0.6 seconds/frame to sense terrain geometry and terrain type, and the rationale behind the choice of these sensors is reviewed.
