  ABSTRACT = { This approach, designed for mobile robots equipped with
                  synchro-drives, is derived directly from the motion dynamics
                  of the robot. In experiments, the dynamic window approach
                  safely controlled the mobile robot RHINO at speeds of up to
                  95 cm/sec, in populated and dynamic environments. },
  KEYWORDS = {collision avoidance, mobile robots, reactive motion control,

  ABSTRACT = {
Gaussian processes using nonstationary covariance functions are a
powerful tool for Bayesian regression with input-dependent
smoothness. A common approach is to model the local smoothness by a
latent process that is integrated over using Markov chain Monte Carlo
approaches. In this paper, we demonstrate that an approximation that
uses the estimated mean of the local smoothness yields good results
and allows one to employ efficient gradient-based optimization
techniques for jointly learning the parameters of the latent and the
observed processes. Extensive experiments on both synthetic and
real-world data, including challenging problems in robotics, show the
relevance and feasibility of our approach.

  ABSTRACT = {
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 = {Eine der größten Herausforderungen innerhalb der Robotik ist die Integration vieler, komplexer Hardware- und Softwarekomponenten zu einem robust funktionierenden Gesamtsystem. Neben den zahlreichen wissenschaftlichen Fragestellungen, die auf Systemebene zu lösen sind, hängt der Integrationserfolg insbesondere von der Lösung praktischer Probleme wie dem Zusammenspiel vieler Entwicklungspartner und der typischerweise stark limitierten Verfügbarkeit von Einzelkomponenten ab. Leistungsfähige Hardwarekomponenten, wie beispielsweise Mehrfingergreifer und Leichtbauarme, sind in der Regel Spezialanfertigungen und stehen daher nur wenigen Partnern innerhalb von Projekten zur Verfügung. In diesem Beitrag wird ein neues Integrations- und Testframework zur räumlich verteilten Forschung und Entwicklung an solchen Komponenten und integrierten Systemen vorgestellt. Entwickler können hierbei Beiträge zu einer Technologieplattform leisten, ohne ständigen, direkten Zugang zur Hardware besitzen zu müssen.},

  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.},

  ABSTRACT = {Artificial systems with a high degree of autonomy require reliable semantic information about the context they operate in. State interpretation, however, is a difficult task. Interpretations may depend on a history of states and there may be more than one valid interpretation. We propose a model for spatio-temporal situations using hidden Markov models based on relational state descriptions, which are extracted from the estimated state of an underlying dynamic system. Our model covers concurrent situations, scenarios with multiple agents, and situations of varying durations. To evaluate the practical usefulness of our model, we apply it to the concrete task of online traffic analysis.},

  ABSTRACT = {Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) is 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.}

  ABSTRACT = {In probabilistic mobile robotics, the development of measurement models plays a crucial role as it directly influences the efficiency and the robustness of the robot's performance in a great variety of tasks including localization, tracking, and map building. 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.}

  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.}

  ABSTRACT = {This paper presents a novel Gaussian process (GP) approach to regression with input-dependent noise rates. We follow Goldberg et al.'s approach and model the noise variance using a second GP in addition to the GP governing the noise-free output value. In contrast to Goldberg et al., however, we 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-world data, including a challenging perception problem in robotics, show the effectiveness of most likely heteroscedastic GP regression.}

  ABSTRACT = {Autonomous agents that act in the real world 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 = {The ability to detect failures and to analyze their causes is one of the preconditions of truly autonomous mobile robots. Especially online failure detection is a complex task, since the effects of failures are typically difficult to model and often resemble the noisy system behavior in a fault-free operational mode. In this paper we present an approach that applies Gaussian process classification and regression techniques for learning highly effective proposal distributions of a particle filter that is applied to track the state of the system.  As a result, the efficiency and robustness of the state estimation process is substantially improved. In practical experiments carried out with a real robot we demonstrate that our system is capable of detecting collisions with unseen obstacles while at the same time estimating the changing point of contact with the obstacle.}

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.}
