  abstract = {Recently, the problem of autonomous navigation of automobiles has
      gained substantial interest in the robotics community.  Especially
      during the two recent DARPA grand challenges, autonomous cars have
      been shown to robustly navigate over extended periods of time
      through complex desert courses or through dynamic urban traffic
      environments.  In these tasks, the robots typically relied on GPS
      traces to follow pre-defined trajectories so that only local
      planners were required.  In this paper, we present an approach for
      autonomous navigation of cars in indoor structures such as parking
      garages.  Our approach utilizes multi-level surface maps of the
      corresponding environments to calculate the path of the vehicle and
      to localize it based on laser data in the absence of sufficiently
      accurate GPS information.  It furthermore utilizes a local path
      planner for controlling the vehicle.  In a practical experiment
      carried out with an autonomous car in a real parking garage we
      demonstrate that our approach allows the car to autonomously park
      itself in a large-scale multi-level structure.},

      estimating the position of a mobile robot in outdoor environments using
      range data. Our approach applies a particle filter to estimate the full
      six-dimensional state of the robot and utilizes multilevel surface maps,
      which, in contrast to standard elevation maps, allow the robot to represent
      vertical structures and multiple levels in the environment. We describe
      probabilistic motion and sensor models to calculate the proposal
      distribution and to evaluate the likelihood of observations. We
      furthermore describe an active localization approach that actively
      selects the sensor orientation of the two-dimensional laser range scanner
      to improve the localization results. To efficiently calculate the
      appropriate orientation, we apply a clustering operation on the particles
      and evaluate potential orientations on the basis of these clusters.
      Experimental results obtained with a mobile robot in large-scale outdoor
      environments indicate that our approach yields robust and accurate
      position estimates. The experiments also demonstrate that multilevel
      surface maps lead to a significantly better localization performance than
      standard elevation maps. They additionally show that further accuracy is
      obtained from the active sensing approach.},

This requires dealing with temporal context, handling multiple and ambiguous interpretations, and accounting for various sources of uncertainty. In this paper we propose a probabilistic approach to modeling and recognizing situations. We define a situation as a distribution over sequences of states that have some meaningful interpretation.  Each situation is characterized by an individual hidden Markov model that describes the corresponding distribution. In particular, we consider typical traffic scenarios and describe how our framework can be used to model and track different situations while they are evolving. The approach was evaluated experimentally in vehicular traffic scenarios using real and simulated data. The results show that our system is able to recognize and track multiple situation instances in parallel and make sensible decisions between competing hypotheses. Additionally, we show that our models can be used for predicting the position of the tracked vehicles.},

Gaussian processes using nonstationary covariance functions are a

uses the estimated mean of the local smoothness yields good results

techniques for jointly learning the parameters of the latent and the

Legged robots require the ability to build accurate models of their
environment in order to plan and execute their actions. We present a
novel, probabilistic terrain model based on Gaussian processes that
can be learned and updated efficiently using sparse approximation
techniques. The major benefit of our model is its ability to predict
elevations at unseen locations more reliably than alternative
approaches, while it also yields estimates of the predictive
uncertainties. In particular, our Gaussian process adapts its
covariance to the situation at hand, allowing more accurate inference
of terrain height at points that have not been directly observed. We
show how a conventional motion planner can use the learned terrain
model to to plan a path to a goal location, using a terrain-specific
cost model to accept or reject candidate footholds. In experiments
with a real quadruped robot equipped with a laser range finder, we
demonstrate the usefulness of our approach and discuss its benefits
compared to simpler terrain models such as elevations grids.

  abstract = {Range sensors have become popular for mobile robot localization since they directly measure the geometry of the local environment. In situations in which the robot operates close to obstacles or in highly cluttered environments, however, small changes in the pose of the robot can lead to completely different geometries measured by the range sensor. The resulting enormous variances in the likelihood of observations can lead to major problems in probabilistic approaches such as Monte Carlo localization as important hypotheses or particles might get lost which substantially decreases the robustness of such approaches. A common solution is to artificially smooth the likelihood function or to only integrate a small fraction of the measurements. In this paper we present a more fundamental and robust approach which models the likelihood function for single range measurements as a mixture of Gaussians. In practical experiments we compare our approach to previous methods and demonstrate that it provides a substantially more robust localization.},

The task is to build a map of the environment using on-board sensors while at the same time localizing the robot relative to this map. Rao-Blackwellized particle filters have emerged as a powerful technique for solving the SLAM problem in a wide variety of environments. It is a well-known fact for sampling-based approaches that the choice of the proposal distribution greatly influences the robustness and efficiency achievable by the algorithm. In this paper, we present a significantly improved proposal distribution for grid-based SLAM, which utilizes whole sequences of sensor measurements rather than only the most recent one. We have implemented our system on a real robot and evaluated its performance on standard data sets as well as in hard outdoor settings with few and ambiguous features. Our approach improves the localization accuracy and the map quality. At the same time, it substantially reduces the risk of mapping failures.}

In this paper, we present a novel probabilistic measurement model for range finders, called Gaussian Beam Processes, which treats the measurement modeling task as a nonparametric Bayesian regression problem and solves it using Gaussian processes. The major advantage of our approach lies in the smoothness of the resulting model which appropriately represents correlations between adjacent beams using covariance functions. Moreover, the Gaussian process treatment results in a sound probabilistic measurement model with a pool of well-established techniques for likelihood estimation and range prediction for an arbitrary number of beams. Experiments on real world and synthetic data show that Gaussian Beam Processes combine the advantages of two popular measurement models.}

Accurate modeling requires the ability to deal with a varying data density and to balance smoothing against the preservation of discontinuities. The latter is particularly important for robotics applications, as discontinuities that arise, for example, at steps, stairs, or building walls are important features for path planning or terrain segmentation tasks. In this paper, we present an extension of the well-established Gaussian process regression technique, that utilizes non-stationary covariance functions to locally adapt to the structure of the terrain data. In this way, we achieve strong smoothing in flat areas and along edges and at the same time preserve edges and corners. The derived model yields predictive height distributions for arbitrary locations of the terrain and therefore allows us to fill gaps in data and to perform conservative predictions in occluded areas.}

The resulting model is easy to implement and can directly be used in combination with various existing extensions of the standard GPs such as sparse approximations. Extensive experiments on both synthetic and real-world data, including a challenging perception problem in robotics, show the effectiveness of most likely heteroscedastic GP regression.}

The majority of path planning approaches for mobile robots, however, solve the current navigation problem from scratch given the current and goal configuration of the robot. Consequently, these approaches yield highly efficient plans for the specific situation, but the computed policies typically do not transfer to other, similar tasks. In this paper, we propose to apply techniques from statistical relational learning to the path planning problem. More precisely, we propose to learn relational decision trees as abstract navigation strategies from example paths. Relational abstraction has several interesting and important properties. First, it allows a mobile robot to imitate navigation behavior shown by users or by optimal policies. Second, it yields comprehensible models of behavior. Finally, a navigation policy learned in one environment naturally transfers to unknown environments. In several experiments with real robots and in simulated runs, we demonstrate that our approach yields efficient navigation plans. We show that our system is robust against observation noise and can outperform hand-crafted policies.}

  abstract = {Navigation is one of the fundamental tasks for a mobile robot. The majority of path planning approaches has been designed to entirely solve the given problem from scratch given the current and goal configurations of the robot. Although these approaches yield highly efficient plans, the computed policies typically do not transfer to other, similar tasks. We propose to learn relational decision trees as abstract navigation strategies from example paths. Relational abstraction has several interesting and important properties. First, it allows a mobile robot to generalize navigation plans from specific examples provided by users or exploration. Second, the navigation policy learned in one environment can be transferred to unknown environments. In several experiments with real robots in a real environment and in simulated runs, we demonstrate the usefulness
of our approach.},
