2. 1. 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

4. 2. Scaling Indoor Positioning : improving accuracy and privacy of indoor positioning

   Author : Jimmy Engström; Jan A. Persson; Åse Jevinger; Carl Magnus Olsson; Gustaf Hendeby; Malmö universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

   Abstract : Our phones have many uses for positioning technologies, such as navigation, LocationBased Services (LBS), emergency positioning, fitness applications, and advertising. We trust our phones and wearables to be location-aware. READ MORE

5. 3. On Fundamental Elements of Visual Navigation Systems

   Author : Abujawad Rafid Siddiqui; J. Rafid Siddiqui; Sweden Karlskrona Blekinge Tekniska Högskola Institutionen för kommunikationssystem; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; robot navigation; localization; visual mapping; scene understanding; semantic mapping;

   Abstract : Visual navigation is a ubiquitous yet complex task which is performed by many species for the purpose of survival. Although visual navigation is actively being studied within the robotics community, the determination of elemental constituents of a robust visual navigation system remains a challenge. READ MORE

6. 4. Bayesian Inference for Nonlinear Dynamical Systems : Applications and Software Implementation

   Author : Jerker Nordh; Institutionen för reglerteknik; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Indoor Navigation; pyParticleEst; Software Implementation; Simultaneous Localization and Mapping; Parameter Estimation; System Identification; Sequential Importance Sampling; Particle Filter; Bayesian Inference; Markov Chain Monte Carlo; Particle Smoother;

   Abstract : The topic of this thesis is estimation of nonlinear dynamical systems, focusing on the use of methods such as particle filtering and smoothing. There are three areas of contributions: software implementation, applications of nonlinear estimation and some theoretical extensions to existing algorithms. READ MORE

7. 5. Visual navigation in a conspicuously planar world

   Author : Per Fornland; KTH; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : This thesis addresaee an important topic in computer vision,namely finding the ground plane and potential obstacles in theimages taken by an indoor mobile platform. This is ofimportante, since the platform then automatically can detect ifit can continue on its path. READ MORE
