  2. 6. 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. 7. Estimation and Detection with Applications to Navigation

    Author : David Törnqvist; Fredrik Gustafsson; Hugh Durrant-Whyte; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : Navigation; SLAM; Particle Filter; Estimation; TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIKVETENSKAP;

    Abstract : The ability to navigate in an unknown environment is an enabler for truly utonomous systems. Such a system must be aware of its relative position to the surroundings using sensor measurements. It is instrumental that these measurements are monitored for disturbances and faults. READ MORE

  5. 8. Advanced cranial navigation

    Author : Simon Skyrman; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Neurosurgery is performed with extremely low margins of error. Surgical inaccuracy may have disastrous consequences. The overall aim of this thesis was to improve accuracy in cranial neurosurgical procedures by the application of new technical aids. READ MORE

  6. 9. 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. 10. Age-related cognitive decline and navigation in electronic environments

    Author : Marie Sjölinder; Lars-Göran Nilsson; Britt Östlund; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Ageing; cognition; navigation; computers; internet; mobile phones; interface design; Psychology; Psykologi;

    Abstract : The older population is increasing, as is life expectancy. Technical devices are becoming more widespread and used for many everyday tasks. Knowledge about new technology is important to remain as an active and independent part of the society. READ MORE
