Building Semantic Annotated Maps by Mobile Robots

Extracting Semantic Information from Visual Data: A Survey

The traditional environment maps built by mobile robots include both metric ones and topological ones. These maps are navigation-oriented and not adequate for service robots to interact with or serve human users who normally rely on the conceptual knowledge or semantic contents of the environment. Therefore, the construction of semantic maps becomes necessary for building an effective human-rob...

Semantic Mapping for Service Robots: Building and Using Maps for Mobile Manipulators in Semi-structured Environments

Efficiently Learning Metric and Topological Maps with Autonomous Service Robots (Effizientes Lernen metrischer und topologischer Karten mit autonomen Servicerobotern)

Models of the environment are needed for a wide range of robotic applications, from search and rescue to automated vacuum cleaning. Learning maps has therefore been a major research focus in the robotics community over the last decades. In general, one distinguishes between metric and topological maps. Metric maps model the environment based on grids or geometric representations whereas topolog...

Semantic Navigation Maps for Mobile Robot Localization on Planetary Surfaces

Exploration with autonomous mobile robots is an important means in recent space exploration missions. One key requirement imposed is the ability to localize the robots in relation to their environment and to represent this environment in an accessible way. This paper discusses map building and localization for mobile robot exploration missions on planetary surfaces using a novel map representat...
