Mobile robots

Localization, Map building, SLAM, Set membership

This research line focuses on the development estimation techniques for mobile robot applications. Either a stochastic or a set membership description of the uncertainty is considered. Some of the addressed problems include:

  • Simultaneous localization and map building (SLAM)
  • Cooperative SLAM for a team of robots
  • Passive guidance system for smart walkers
  • Mobile robots lab for remote teaching activities
