Bio-inspired multi-sensor fusion and calibration for robot place learning and recognition

(2018) Bio-inspired multi-sensor fusion and calibration for robot place learning and recognition. PhD by Publication, Queensland University of Technology.

Description

Determining an agent's location in the world is vital for robotic navigation, path planning and co-operative behaviours. This thesis focuses on the translation of biological insights to the robotics domain to improve topological SLAM with an aim to enable robot navigation and localisation without human intervention. The primary contributions presented within this thesis are SLAM localisation techniques which are robust to environmental changes, require minimal or no human intervention for setup within a new environment and are robust to sensor failures.

Search Google Scholar™

Citation counts are sourced monthly from Scopus and Web of Science® citation databases.

These databases contain citations from different subsets of available publications and different time periods and thus the citation count from each is usually different. Some works are not in either database and no count is displayed. Scopus includes citations from articles published in 1996 onwards, and Web of Science® generally from 1980 onwards.

Citations counts from the Google Scholar™ indexing service can be viewed at the linked Google Scholar™ search.
