Abstract: Accurate and robust global localization is essential to robotics applications. We propose a novel global localization method that employs the map traversability as a hidden observation. The ...

Mammotion is upgrading its flagship robotic lawnmower with its new lidar-equipped navigation system, allowing it to generate ...

Patients are being warned to stop using some glucose monitors made by Abbott Diabetes Care after the company found malfunctioning sensors may be linked to hundreds of adverse events and several deaths ...

Imagine this scenario: Your supercharged project car is finally completed. Fresh engine, badass centrifugal blower, speed-density ECM tune, plenty of fuel, yadda-yadda-yadda. With a deck this stacked, ...

This 1491 map is the best surviving map of the world as Christopher Columbus knew it as he made his first voyage across the Atlantic. In fact, Columbus likely used a copy of it in planning his journey ...

Mean arterial pressure (MAP) is a key reading doctors use to assess blood flow through your body. It’s related to your systolic and diastolic blood pressure readings but accounts for flow and ...

With only five days until Christmas, weather forecasters now have a pretty good idea of who will wake up to a blanket of snow on the big day. With few exceptions, it appears that what you see on the ...

Modern vehicles rely on a massive amount of electrical systems, sensors, and control modules to keep the wheels turning. Some of those devices are well-known, like your car's main computer or engine ...

Abstract: Traditional 2D Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) algorithms commonly use occupancy grid map models, which are susceptible to Gaussian noise. The constraint information in the ...
