2. 16. Control and Navigation of an Autonomous Bicycle

   Author : Niklas Persson; Alessandro Papadopoulos; Martin Ekström; Mikael Ekström; Simone Formentin; Mälardalens universitet; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; elektronik; Electronics;

   Abstract : Autonomous control of mobile robots is a research topic that has received a lot of interest. There are several challenging problems associated with autonomous mobile robots, including low-level control, localisation, and navigation. READ MORE

4. 17. Functional understanding of space : Representing spatial knowledge using concepts grounded in an agent's purpose

   Author : Kristoffer Sjöö; Patric Jensfelt; David Vernon; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; spatial representation; autonomous robots; spatial understanding; semantic mapping; spatial relations; visual search; robot search;

   Abstract : This thesis examines the role of function in representations of space by robots - that is, dealing directly and explicitly with those aspects of space and objects in space that serve some purpose for the robot. It is suggested that taking function into account helps increase the generality and robustness of solutions in an unpredictable and complex world, and the suggestion is affirmed by several instantiations of functionally conceived spatial models.

5. 18. Flexible, Efficient, and Scalable Autonomous Exploration and Volumetric Mapping

   Author : Daniel Duberg; Patric Jensfelt; Cesar Cadena; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Exploration; Mapping; Autonomous Exploration; Volumetric Mapping;

   Abstract : Autonomous mobile robots have in recent years started to enter households in the form of autonomous vacuum cleaners and lawn mowers. The applicability of more advanced and general purpose service robots is almost endless. That is, robots that can perform a variety of tasks, instead of being specialized for a single task.

6. 19. Safe data-driven control for robots with constrained motion

   Author : Pouria Tajvar; Jana Tumova; Ram Vasudevan; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Data-driven control; System abstraction; Motion planning;

   Abstract : Widespread deployment of robots in offices, hospitals, and homes is a highly anticipated breakthrough in robotics. In such environments, the robots are expected to fulfil new tasks as they arrive in contrast to repetitive tasks. Such environments are unstructured and may impose various constraints on a robot's motion. READ MORE

7. 20. Safe Autonomy under Uncertainty: Computation, Control, and Application

   Author : Yulong Gao; Karl H. Johansson; Lihua Xie; ‪Frank Allgöwer; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Safe autonomy; shared autonomy; probabilistic controlled invariant set; invariant cover; linear temporal logic; temporal logic tree; safe teleoperation; automated car overtaking; Electrical Engineering; Elektro- och systemteknik;

   Abstract : Safety is a primary requirement for many autonomous systems, such as automated vehicles and mobile robots. An open problem is how to assure safety, in the sense of avoiding unsafe subsets of the state space, for uncertain systems under complex tasks. READ MORE
