NeuroSLAM : Neural Simultaneous Localization and Mapping Workshop 13-14 Mar 2019 Paris (France)
NeuroSLAM: Neural Simultaneous Localization and Mapping Workshop
Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (or SLAM) refers to the problem of constructing a map of an unknown environment as it is actively being explored. SLAM has been treated extensively in mobile robotics, providing …
Robots are learning how to walk like we do
Robots have walked on legs for decades. Today’s most advanced humanoid robots can tramp along flat and inclined surfaces, climb up and down stairs, and slog through rough terrain. Some can even jump.
A report about legged robots on the …
How does the brain’s spatial map change when we change the shape of the room?
