  2. 1. Autonomous Åland : A hundred years of borderwork in the Baltic Sea

    Author : Ida Hughes Tidlund; Simon Ekström; Barbro Blehr; Thomas M. Wilson; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; Åland; Finland; borders; borderwork; built place; practico-inert; hodological navigation; maritime; minority; territorial autonomy; Ethnology; etnologi;

    Abstract : This dissertation applies an ethnological and long-temporal view of borders. The region of Åland, being an autonomous and demilitarised island territory under Finnish sovereignty, serves as an illuminative case of the work that goes into keeping borders fixed for two reasons.

  4. 2. Inertial Navigation and Mapping for Autonomous Vehicles

    Author : Martin Skoglund; Fredrik Gustafsson; Thomas Schön; Tim Bailey; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; SLAM; Inertial Navigation; Filtering; Smoothing; Cameras; Optimisation; Autonomous;

    Abstract : Navigation and mapping in unknown environments is an important building block for increased autonomy of unmanned vehicles, since external positioning systems can be susceptible to interference or simply being inaccessible. Navigation and mapping require signal processing of vehicle sensor data to estimate motion relative to the surrounding environment and to simultaneously estimate various properties of the surrounding environment.

  5. 3. Mobile Robot Traversability Mapping : For Outdoor Navigation

    Author : Peter Nordin; Petter Krus; Jonas Nygårds; Nils Axel Andersen; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : Traversability; Laser; Roughness; Mapping; Planning; Mobile robot; Navigation; Implementation;

    Abstract : To avoid getting stuck or causing damage to a vehicle or its surroundings a driver must be able to identify obstacles and adapt speed to ground conditions. An automatically controlled vehicle must be able to handle these identifications and adjustments by itself using sensors, actuators and control software. READ MORE

  6. 4. Towards On-line Learning Agents for Autonomous Navigation

    Author : Guang Li; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; path-finding; head direction; artificial neural network; spatial representation; on-line learning; navigation; localization; autonomous mobile robot; obstacle avoidance; place learning;

    Abstract : The design of a mechatronic agent capable of navigating autonomously in a changing and perhaps previously unfamiliar environment is a very challenging issue. This thesis addresses this issue from both functional and system perspectives. READ MORE

  7. 5. Indoor Navigation for Mobile Robots : Control and Representations

    Author : Philipp Althaus; KTH; []
    Keywords : mobile robots; robot navigation; indoor navigation; behaviour based robotics; hybrid deliberative systems; dynamical systems approach; topological maps; symbol anchoring; autonomous mapping; human-robot interaction;

    Abstract : This thesis deals with various aspects of indoor navigationfor mobile robots. For a system that moves around in ahousehold or office environment,two major problems must betackled. First, an appropriate control scheme has to bedesigned in order to navigate the platform. Second, the form ofrepresentations of the environment must be chosen. READ MORE
