    eSLAM—Self Localisation and Mapping Using Embodied Data
    (KI - Künstliche Intelligenz: Vol. 24, No. 3, 2010) Schwendner, Jakob; Kirchner, Frank
    Autonomous mobile robots have the potential to change our everyday life. Unresolved challenges which span a large spectrum of artificial intelligence research need to be answered to progress further towards this vision. This article addresses the problem of robot localisation and mapping, which plays a vital role for robot autonomy in unknown environments. An analysis of the potential for using embodied data is performed, and the notion of direct and indirect embodied data is introduced. Further, the implications of embodied data for an embodied SLAM algorithm are investigated and set into a robotic context.

    Intelligent Mobility
    (KI - Künstliche Intelligenz: Vol. 25, No. 2, 2011) Joyeux, Sylvain; Schwendner, Jakob; Kirchner, Frank; Babu, Ajish; Grimminger, Felix; Machowinski, Janosch; Paranhos, Patrick; Gaudig, Christopher
    Robotic systems for outdoor applications can play an important role in the future. Tasks like exploration, surveillance or search and rescue missions benefit greatly from increased autonomy of the available systems. Outdoor environments and their high complexity pose a special challenge for existing autonomous behaviour technologies in robots. Some of these challenges in the area of navigation, plan management and sensor integration are investigated in the Intelligent Mobility (iMoby) project at the DFKI. An introduction to the project goals and the current achievements is given. Further, an outlook towards the end of the project and beyond is provided.

    Space Robotics: An Overview of Challenges, Applications and Technologies
    (KI - Künstliche Intelligenz: Vol. 28, No. 2, 2014) Schwendner, Jakob; Kirchner, Frank
    While space exploration may be considered anything but dull, it certainly is very dangerous. Expanding our knowledge on the solar system to look for clues to such fundamental questions as the origins of life, or a sustained human presence on anything other than earth may well be worth the risk. The involved costs for mitigating the risk of human space flight are prohibitive. Robotic missions, like the hugely successful Mars Exploration Rovers, have shown that robotics as a sub-field of Artificial Intelligence can perform scientific exploration activities without human presence, and will play an even more prominent role in future mission scenarios. Worldwide technology research efforts are continuously expanding the capabilities of mobile robotic systems. This article provides an overview of the special conditions and examples of technological solutions for the development of space robots, as well as different fields of application.
