The device atop the car produced a detailed map of the environment.
Graph optimization yields a globally consistent dense 3D map of the environment.
This technique applies a particle filter in which each particle carries an individual map of the environment.
Combined with special software, the phone is able "to track the full 3D motion of the device, while simultaneously creating a map of the environment".
After the exploration has taken place, the robots communicate and build a global map of the environment.
After gathering terrain data to generate a 3D map of the environment, drones can plant biodegradable seed pods, suspended in nutrient-rich gel, at predetermined locations.
In a study published in 1971, Professor O'Keefe suggested that these "place cells" were used by the brain to build up a map of the environment.
Monte Carlo localisation generally requires a metrical map of the environment to calculate a robots position from the posterior probability density of a set of weighted samples.
We address the relocalization problem assuming that a statistical model, serving as a map of the environment, is available a priori.
A robot using such a visual compass can quickly learn a cylindrical map of the environment, consisting of simple statistical features that can be computed very quickly.
This model uses a feature-based map of the environment and the feature extraction process makes it robust to occlusions and changes in the environment.
