abstract = {For several applications, robots and other
computer systems must provide route descriptions to
humans. These descriptions should be natural and
intuitive for the human users. In this paper, we
present an algorithm that learns how to provide
good route descriptions from a corpus of human-
written directions. Using inverse reinforcement
learning, our algorithm learns how to select the
information for the description depending on the
context of the route segment. The algorithm then
uses the learned policy to generate directions that
imitate the style of the descriptions provided by
humans, thus taking into account personal as well
as cultural preferences and special requirements of
the particular user group providing the learning
demonstrations. We evaluate our approach in a user
study and show that the directions generated by our
policy sound similar to human-given directions and
substantially more natural than directions provided
by commercial web services.}

abstract = {The setup of tilting a 2D laser range finder up
and down is a widespread strategy to acquire 3D
point clouds. This setup requires that the scene
is static while the robot takes a 3D scan. If an
object moves through the scene during the
measurement process and one does not take into
account these movements, the resulting model will
get distorted. This paper presents an approach to
reconstruct the 3D model of a moving rigid object
from the inconsistent set of 2D measurements by the
help of a camera. Our approach utilizes optical
flow in the camera images to estimate the motion in
the image plane and point-line constraints to
compensate the missing information about the motion
in depth. We combine multiple sweeps and/or views
into to a single consistent model using a point-to-
plane ICP approach and optimize single sweeps by
smoothing the resulting trajectory. Experiments
obtained in real outdoor scenarios with moving cars
demonstrate that our approach yields accurate
models.}

abstract = {Being able to estimate the dirt distribution in an
environment makes it possible to compute efficient
paths for robotic cleaners. In this paper, we
present a novel approach for modeling and
estimating the dynamics of the generation of dirt
in an environment. Our model uses cell-wise Poisson
processes on a regular grid to estimate the
distribution of dirt in the environment. It allows
for an effective estimation of the dynamics of the
generation of dirt and for making predictions about
the absolute dirt values. We propose two efficient
cleaning policies that are based on the estimated
dirt distributions and can easily be adapted to
different needs of potential users. Through
extensive experiments carried out with a modified
iRobot Roomba vacuum cleaning robot and in
simulation we demonstrate the effectiveness of our
approach.},

abstract = {Over the past years, there has been a tremendous
progress in the area of robot navigation. Most of
the systems developed thus far, however, are
restricted to indoor scenarios, non-urban outdoor
environments, or road usage with cars. Urban areas
introduce numerous challenges to autonomous mobile
robots as they are highly complex and in addition
to that dynamic. In this paper, we present a
navigation system for pedestrian-like autonomous
navigation with mobile robots in city environments.
We describe different components including a SLAM
system for dealing with huge maps of city centers,
a planning approach for inferring feasible paths
taking also into account the traversability and
type of terrain, and a method for accurate
localization in dynamic environments. The
navigation system has been implemented and tested
in several large-scale field tests in which the
robot Obelix managed to autonomously navigate from
our university campus over a 3.3 km long route to
the city center of Freiburg.}

abstract = {Robust autonomous navigation is a key feature of a
mobile robot realizing services such as
transportation, cleaning, search and rescue, and
surveillance. In addition to that, navigation is a
building block for a robot assisting humans in
potentially dangerous situations, such as search-
and-rescue scenarios. Hence, navigation is one of
the major research topics in the robotics
community. To realize the above mentioned
applications, we need to fulfill certain
requirements, so that a robot is regarded as
useful. For example, a robot which performs pick-
and-place tasks or offers guidance in city centers
needs to be aware of its own position in the
environment and it needs to have an accurate model
of the environment for planning an appropriate
path. A robot which should guide a human to a
certain place or has to deliver goods is only
regarded as helping hand, if the location is
reliably reached within the expected time frame.
Particularly, estimating the state which describes
the current situation of the navigation system is
complex. In this thesis, we focus on efficient and
accurate state estimation techniques which apply
probabilistic algorithms. An example for such a
state estimation task is the Simultaneous
Localization and Mapping (SLAM) problem, in which a
robot has to address both aspects. First, it needs
to estimate what the environment looks like. This
is the mapping part which deals with integrating
the information obtained by the sensors of the
robot into an appropriate representation. Second,
the localization component has to estimate the
position of the robot with respect to the model of
the environment. In the first part of this thesis,
we present efficient approaches to estimate the
state of the robot while performing SLAM. Our
approach allows a robot to accurately estimate the
model of the environment in an online setting and
also in situations when provided with a poor
initial guess. Additionally, we provide an
empirical evaluation which demonstrates the
advantages of our approach compared to other state-
of-the-art methods. Subsequently, we extend our
state estimation approach to also include the
unknown calibration parameters, which might change
during the lifetime of the robot, to incorporate
prior information about the structure of the
environment, and to improve the fine-grained
details of the estimated models. In the second part
of this thesis, we demonstrate two challenging
applications which we realized by building upon and
extending the algorithms presented in the first
part. In detail, we discuss an approach which
allows a car to autonomously park in a complex
multi-level parking garage. As second application
we present a robotic pedestrian assistant which is
able to navigate in densely populated pedestrian
zones. All techniques presented in this thesis have
been implemented and tested using both real-world
data collected with mobile robots and simulated
data. To support our claims, we performed an
extensive collection of experiments, in which we
compared the performance of our approaches with the
state-of-the- art. We believe that the proposed
approaches will allow us in the future to build
systems that can assist humans in their homes and
at their workplaces.}

abstract = {Perception is one of the key topics in robotics
research. It is about the processing of external
sensor data and its interpretation. Strong
perceptual abilities are a basic requirement for a
robot working in an environment that was not
specifically designed for the robot. Such a
surrounding might be completely unknown or may
change over time, so that a model cannot be
provided to the robot a priori. Most people would
only judge a robot to be truly intelligent if it
perceives its environment, understands what is
happening around it and acts accordingly. This is
especially important in mobile robotics. A robot
that moves through an environment and interacts
with it has to know what is going on around it,
where it is, where it can go, and where objects
necessary for its task are located. The topic of
this thesis is the interpretation of low-level
sensor information and its application in high-
level tasks, specifically in the area of mobile
robotics. We mainly focus on 3D perception, meaning
the analysis and interpretation of 3D range scans.
This kind of data provides accurate spatial
information and is typically not dependent on the
light conditions. Spatial information is especially
important for navigation tasks, which, by nature,
are elementary for mobile platforms. To solve
different problems, we extract features from the
sensor data, which can then be used efficiently to
solve the task at hand. The term âfeatureâ is
very broad in this context and means that some
useful information is derived from raw data, which
is easier to interpret than the original input. At
first, we discuss the benefits of point feature
extraction from 3D range scans, meaning the
detection of interesting areas and an efficient
description of the local data. Such point features
are typically employed for similarity measures
between chunks of data. We present an approach for
point feature extraction and then build on it to
create several systems that tackle highly relevant
topics of modern robotics. These include the
detection of known objects in a 3D scan, the
unsupervised creation of object models from a
collection of scans, the representation of an
environment with a small number of surface
primitives, and the ability to find the current
position of a robot based on a single 3D scan and a
database of already known places. All these
problems require an algorithm that detects similar
structures in homogeneous sensor data, i.e., to
find corresponding areas between 3D range scans. In
addition to this, we discuss a system where finding
correspondences between heterogeneous data types is
relevant. Specifically, we search for corresponding
areas in 3D range data and visual images, to
determine the position of a robot in an aerial
image. Finally, we present a complete robotic
system, designed to navigate as a pedestrian in an
urban environment. Such a system is built up from a
multitude of different modules, whereas high
robustness requirements apply to each of them to
ensure the reliability of the entire system. Our
core contribution to this system is a module that
analyzes the low-level sensor data and provides
high-level information to the other modules,
specifically, it performs a traversability analysis
and obstacle detection in 2D and 3D laser data. We
present several innovative algorithms and
techniques that advance the state of the art. We
use them to build systems that enable us to address
complex 3D perception problems, outperforming
existing approaches. We evaluate our methods in
challenging settings, focusing on realistic
applications and using real world data.}

surfaces for redundant manipulators. Existing
coverage solutions only focus on Euclidean cost
functions and often return suboptimal paths with
respect to the joint space. In the approach
described here, we explicitly consider the null
space by treating different inverse kinematics
solutions as individual nodes in a graph and model
the problem as a generalized traveling salesman
problem (GTSP). The GTSP is a generalization of the
TSP where the nodes of the graph are subdivided
into clusters and at least one node in each cluster
needs to be visited. We evaluate our approach using
a PR2 robot and complex objects. Our results
demonstrate that our method outperforms Euclidean
coverage algorithms in terms of manipulation effort
and completion time.},

the global minimum of such problems depends on both

employs a state-of-the-art graph-based optimizer

each optimization. We present our approach and
evaluate it on data recorded in different real

compression of the entire point cloud. We optimize
our model in terms of complexity and accuracy by
minimizing the Bayesian information criterion

datasets show that the described method allows
robots to accurately reconstruct en- vironments
with as few as 70 words. Furthermore the
experiments suggest that the proposed

optimization problem over robot poses and laser
points. We assume that a laser range finder senses
points sampled from a regular surface and we
utilize an improved likelihood function that
accounts for two phenomena affecting the laser
measurements that are often neglected: the conic
shape of the laser beam and the incidence angle.
To solve the entire problem we apply an
optimization procedure that jointly adjusts the
position of all the robot poses and all points in
the scans. As a result, we obtain highly accurate
maps. We evaluated our approach using simulated and
real-world data and we show that utilizing the
estimated maps greatly improves the localization
accuracy of robots. The results furthermore
suggest that the accuracy of the resulting map can
exceed the resolution of the laser sensors used.}

abstract = {The problem of learning a map with a mobile robot
has been intensively studied in the past and is
usually referred to as the simultaneous
localization and mapping (SLAM) problem. However,
most existing solutions to the SLAM problem learn
the maps from scratch and have no means for
incorporating prior information. In this paper, we
present a novel SLAM approach that achieves global
consistency by utilizing publicly accessible aerial
photographs as prior information. It inserts
correspondences found between stereo and three-
dimensional range data and the aerial images as
constraints into a graph-based formulation of the
SLAM problem. We evaluate our algorithm based on
large real-world datasets acquired even in mixed
in- and outdoor environments by comparing the
global accuracy with state-of-the-art SLAM
approaches and GPS. The experimental results
demonstrate that the maps acquired with our method
show increased global consistency.}

previously seen parts of the environment, is one of
the fundamental tasks in mobile robotics. The wide
range of applications of place recognition includes
localization (determine the initial pose), SLAM
(detect loop closures), and change detection in
dynamic environments. In the past, only relatively
little work has been carried out to attack this
problem using 3D range data and the majority of
approaches focuses on detecting similar structures
without estimating relative poses. In this paper,
we present an algorithm based on 3D range data that
is able to reliably detect previously seen parts of
the environment and at the same time calculates an
accurate transformation between the corresponding
scan-pairs. Our system uses the estimated
transformation to evaluate a candidate and in this
way to more robustly reject false positives for
place recognition. We present an extensive set of
experiments using publicly available datasets in
which we compare our system to other state-of-the-
art approaches.}

abstract = {Being able to build a map of the environment and
to simultaneously localize within this map is an
essential skill for mobile robots navigating in
unknown environments in absence of external
referencing systems such as GPS. This so-called
simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM)
problem has been one of the most popular research
topics in mobile robotics for the last two decades
and efficient approaches for solving this task have
been proposed. One intuitive way of formulating
SLAM is to use a graph whose nodes correspond to
the poses of the robot at different points in time
and whose edges represent constraints between the
poses. The latter are obtained from observations of
the environment or from movement actions carried
out by the robot. Once such a graph is constructed,
the map can be computed by finding the spatial
configuration of the nodes that is mostly
consistent with the measurements modeled by the
edges. In this paper, we provide an introductory
description to the graph- based SLAM problem.
Furthermore, we discuss a state- of-the-art
solution that is based on least-squares error
minimization and exploits the structure of the SLAM
problems during optimization. The goal of this
tutorial is to enable the reader to implement the
proposed methods from scratch.},

for solving the simultaneous localization and

a bottleneck for mobile robots, since the
computation time of direct nonlinear optimization
can grow cubically with the size of the graph. In
this paper, we propose an efficient method for
constructing and solving the linear subproblem,
which is the bottleneck of these direct methods. We
compare our method, called Sparse Pose Adjustment
(SPA), with competing indirect methods, and show
that it outperforms them in terms of convergence
speed and accuracy. We demonstrate its
effectiveness on a large set of indoor real-world

present a novel and robust method for place

matches a given 3D scan against a database using
point features and scores potential transformations
by comparing significant points in the scans. A
further advantage of our approach is that the
features allow for a computation of the relative
transformations between scans which is relevant for
registration processes. Our approach has been
implemented and tested on different 3D data sets
obtained outdoors. In several experiments we
demonstrate the advantages of our approach also in
comparison to existing techniques.}

terrain based on 3D scans of the surroundings of
the robot. The model is learned in a self-

classification. In all real world experiments we
carried out, our approach yields a classification
accuracy of over 99\%. We furthermore illustrate
how the learned classifier can improve the

abstract = {To effectively navigate in their environments and
accurately reach their target locations, mobile
robots require a globally consistent map of the
environment. The problem of learning a map with a
mobile robot has been intensively studied in the
past and is usually referred to as the simultaneous
localization and mapping (SLAM) problem. However,
existing solutions to the SLAM problem typically
rely on loop-closures to obtain global consistency
and do not exploit prior information even if it is
available. In this paper, we present a novel SLAM
approach that achieves global consistency by
utilizing publicly accessible aerial photographs as
prior information. Our approach inserts
correspondences found between three-dimensional
laser range scans and the aerial image as
constraints into a graph-based formulation of the
SLAM problem. We evaluate our algorithm based on
large real-world datasets acquired in a mixed in-
and outdoor environment by comparing the global
accuracy with state-of-the-art SLAM approaches and
GPS. The experimental results demonstrate that the
maps acquired with our method show increased global
consistency.}

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.}

abstract = {To act intelligently in dynamic environments, a
system must understand the current situation it is
involved in at any given time. 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.}

abstract = {We propose a novel combination of techniques for
robustly 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.}

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.}

of the sensor models for range sensors proposed in
the past either consider the individual beam
measurements independently or apply uni-modal
models to represent the likelihood function. In
this paper we present an approach that learns
place-dependent sensor models for entire range
scans using Gaussian mixture models. To deal with
the high dimensionality of the measurement space,
we utilize principle component analysis for

accurate models of their environment in order to

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 = {For many applications, mobile robots need to
estimate the geometry of their local surrounding
area. To do so, proximity sensor such as laser
range finders or sonars are typically employed.
Cameras are a cheap and lightweight alternative to
such sensors, but do not offer proximity
information directly. In this paper, we present a
novel approach to learning the relationship between
range measurements and visual features extracted
from a single monocular camera image. As the
learning engine, we apply Gaussian processes, a
non- parametric learning technique that not only
yields the most likely range prediction
corresponding to a certain visual input but also
the predictive uncertainty. This information, in
turn, can be utilized in an extended grid-based
mapping scheme to update a model of the environment
more gently where the predictions are unreliable.
In practical experiments carried out with a mobile
robot equipped with an omnidirectional camera
system in different environments, we show that our
system is able to predict range scans accurate
enough to construct maps of the environment.}

one of the classical problems in mobile robotics.
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.}

applications, the ability to learn an accurate
model of the environment and to localize itself

been successfully solved in the past for most
indoor tasks, in which the robot is assumed to
operate on a flat surface, such approaches are
likely to fail in combined indoor and outdoor

this paper, we consider the problem of localizing a

It is based on so-called multi-level surface maps

maps. In addition to that, we present a technique
that allows the robot to actively explore the

theoretic approach and considers the uncertainty in
the model to determine the next action to be
executed. In practical experiments, we illustrate
the properties as well as advantages of our
approach compared to other techniques.}

the localization results. It applies a particle
filter to estimate the full six- dimensional state
of the robot. To represent the environment we
utilize multi-level surface maps which allow the
robot to represent vertical structures and multiple

orientation for the range scanner, we apply a
clustering operation on the particles and only
evaluate potential orientations based on these
clusters. Experimental results obtained with a
mobile robot in an outdoor environment indicate
that the active control of the range sensor leads
to more efficient localization results.}

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

combine the advantages of two popular measurement
models.}

abstract = {Three-dimensional digital terrain models are of
fundamental importance in many areas such as the
geo-sciences and outdoor robotics. 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.}

do not use a Markov chain Monte Carlo method to
approximate the posterior noise variance but a most
likely noise approach. 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-

utilizing sensory input greatly rely on the ability
to plan their actions and to transfer these skills
across tasks. 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 = {In this paper, we present an approach towards
mapping and safe navigation in real, large-scale
environments with an autonomous car. The goal is to
enable the car to autonomously navigate on roads
while avoiding obstacles and while simultaneously
learning an accurate three-dimensional model of the
environment. To achieve these goals, we apply
probabilistic state estimation techniques, network-
based pose optimization, and a sensor-based
traversability analysis approach. In order to
achieve fast map learning, our system compresses
the sensor data using multi-level surface maps. The
overall system runs on a modified Smart car
equipped with different types of sensors. We
present several results obtained from extensive
experiments which illustrate the capabilities of
our vehicle.}

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.}
