Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) uses observations to construct a graph, which often contains both environments (mapping), and robot trajectories (localization). RoCAL focuses on building ...

A team of researchers specializes in SLAM, or simultaneous localization and mapping, the technique whereby mobile autonomous robots map their environments and determine their locations. Now these ...

Mobile robots require basic information to navigate through an environment: they need to know where they are (localization) and they need to know where they are going. For the latter, robots need a ...

Navigating without a map is a difficult task for robots, especially when they can't reliably determine where they are. A new AI-powered solution helps robots overcome this challenge by training them ...

Imagine you're a firefighter arriving at a burning building, but you have no idea what the interior layout of that building is. Do you just enter, then risk your life by randomly walking up and down ...

A massive fire tears through an apartment building, sending timbers crashing to the ground and thick smoke throughout the corridors. A team of sprightly robots enters. Communicating like a group of ...
