Current autonomous robots and interfaces are far from exhibiting the adaptability of biological beings regarding changes in their environment or during interaction. They are not always able to provide humans the best and a situation-specific support. Giving the robot or its interface insight into th…

Communication methods in modern robotic systems typically connect multiple sensors, actuators, micro-controllers, and embedded PCs. There are several ways in hard- and software to communicate inside and between robots. In many cases a communication middlewares are used introducing extra protocols.Al…

Mobile autonomous robots have finally emerged from the confined spaces of structured and controlled indoor environments. To fulfill the promises of ubiquitous robotics in unstructured outdoor environments, robust navigation is a key requirement. The research in the Simultaneous Localisation and Mapp…

Structure from motion and structure from light are usually regarded separately. To combine both methods, using the same images to retrieve three dimensional information about the environment, both methods must work side by side without interfering each other. This research work describes the first s…

Planetary rover exploration requires three fundamental tasks: control, localization and mapping. The performance of autonomous navigation depends significantly on the robustness and reliability of the localization subsystem, which is responsible for closing the navigation control loop while driving.…
