Hierarchical map building using visual landmarks and geometric constraints
Z. Zivkovic,B. Bakker,Ben Kröse +2 more
TL;DR: In this article, a hierarchical map from images is constructed from a large collection of omnidirectional images taken at many locations in a building using a metric based on visual landmarks (SIFT features) and geometrical constraints.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Hierarchical map building and planning based on graph partitioning
Z. Zivkovic,B. Bakker,Ben Kröse +2 more
TL;DR: This paper addresses the problem of segmenting a base-level map in order to construct a higher-level representation of the space which can be used for more efficient planning and uses a graph partitioning method to cluster nodes of the base- level map.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Hierarchical dynamic programming for robot path planning
B. Bakker,Z. Zivkovic,Ben Kröse +2 more
TL;DR: An algorithm for hierarchical path planning for stochastic tasks, based on Markov decision processes (MDPs) and dynamic programming, is presented, which is more efficient than standard dynamic programming for "flat" MDPs, because it reduces the state space for all levels in its hierarchy.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Quasi-online reinforcement learning for robots
TL;DR: While a robot is exploring its environment, in the background a probabilistic model of the environment is built on the fly as new experiences arrive; the policy is trained concurrently based on this model using an anytime algorithm.
