This thesis proposes a method to estimate robot localization error without having a ground-truth measurement of robot position. Robot localization refers to estimating a robot position and orientation (pose) within a known map, where the error is the difference between the robot’s ground-truth...

From Scattering Dots to Cognitive Maps: Contributions of visual features in localization and cognitive mapping
DownloadFall 2016
Localizing oneself and other objects in an environment is important in everyday life. Various visual features available in our surroundings can serve as spatial cues to support accurate localization. Encoding individual locations can be achieved by establishing a vector between a target location...

Spring 2021
The technique of Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) has been widely studied and used in autonomous vehicles. The SLAM algorithms can construct the map from an unknown environment and at the same time, estimate the robot position. These are fundamentals of the autonomous robots, for...
