− The simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) with detection and tracking of moving objects (DATMO) problem is not only to solve the SLAM problem in dynamic environments but also to detect and track these dynamic objects. In this paper, we derive the Bayesian formula of the SLAM with DATMO problem, which provides a solid basis for understanding and solving this problem. In addition, we pro...

This article presents SLAM, an Automatic Solver for Lexical Metaphors like “déshabiller* une pomme” (to undress* an apple). SLAM calculates a conventional solution for these productions. To carry on it, SLAM has to intersect the paradigmatic axis of the metaphorical verb “déshabiller*”, where “peler” (“to peel”) comes closer, with a syntagmatic axis that comes from a corpus where “peler une pom...

We describe a framework for coordinating multiple robots in cooperative manipulation tasks in which vision is used for establishing relative position and orientation and maintaining formation. The two key contributions are a cooperative scheme for localizing the robots based on visual imagery that is more robust than decentralized localization, and a set of control algorithms that allow the rob...

In this paper the simultaneous localization and mapping problem in an unknown indoor environment is addressed. A probabilistic approach based on FastSLAM algorithm and line feature map is described. Experimental results performed with a smart wheelchair in an indoor environment are introduced and discussed. Copyright IFAC 2006 c ©

Will reading habit influence your life? Many say yes. Reading underwater slam for structured environments using an imaging sonar is a good habit; you can develop this habit to be such interesting way. Yeah, reading habit will not only make you have any favourite activity. It will be one of guidance of your life. When reading has become a habit, you will not make it as disturbing activities or a...

This paper presents a system for long-term SLAM (simultaneous localization and mapping) by mobile service robots and its experimental evaluation in a real dynamic environment. To deal with the stability-plasticity dilemma (the trade-off between adaptation to new patterns and preservation of old patterns), the environment is represented at multiple timescales simultaneously (5 in our experiments...
