Abstract

The "fly algorithm" is a real-time evolutionary strategy designed for stereovision. Previous work has shown how to process stereo image sequences and use an evolving population of "flies" as a continuously updated representation of the scene for obstacle avoidance in a mobile robot, and the support to collect information about the environment from different sensors. In this paper, we move a step forward and show a way the fly representation may be used by a mobile robot for its own localisation and build a map of its environment (`Simultaneous Localisation And Mapping').
