Toward Robust Visual Odometry Using Prior 2D Map Information and Multiple Hypothesis Particle Filtering
Visual odometry can be used to estimate the pose of a robot from current and recent video frames. A problem with these methods is that they drift over time due to the accumulation of estimation errors at each ...

Online Scene Visibility Estimation as a Complement to SLAM in UAVs
Simultaneous localisation and map** (SLAM) relies on low-cost on-board sensors such as cameras and inertial measurement units. It is crucial that the surroundings are visible to the cameras to maximise the a...

Agent-Based Autonomous Systems and Abstraction Engines: Theory Meets Practice
We report on experiences in the development of hybrid autonomous systems where high-level decisions are made by a rational agent. This rational agent interacts with other sub-systems via an abstraction engine. We...

Don’t Worry, We’ll Get There: Develo** Robot Personalities to Maintain User Interaction After Robot Error
Human robot interaction (HRI) often considers the human impact of a robot serving to assist a human in achieving their goal or a shared task. There are many circumstances though during HRI in which a robot may...

ROBO-GUIDE: Towards Safe, Reliable, Trustworthy, and Natural Behaviours in Robotic Assistants
In this paper we describe a novel scenario, whereby an assistive robot is required to use a lift, and results from a preliminary investigation into floor determination using readily-available information. The ...
