Robotic mapping is the process of automatically constructing an environment representation using mobile robots. We address the problem of semantic mapping, which consists of using mobile robots to create maps that represent ...

In this paper the Optimized Vector and Marginal Median Self-Organizing Map (OVMMSOM) was proposed as a new method of train Self-Organizing Maps (SOM). This variant is based on order statistics, Marginal Median SOM (MMSOM) ...

In this concluding paper, we summarize the main advances coming forward from the joint conference of the International Union of Soil Sciences (IUSS) Working Groups (WG) "Digital Soil mapping" (DSM) and "GlobalSoilMap". We ...

Any robot should be provided with a proper representation of its environment in order to perform navigation and other tasks. In addition to metrical approaches, topological mapping generates graph representations in which ...

We study stochastic thermodynamics for a quantum system of interest whose dynamics is described by a completely positive trace-preserving (CPTP) map as a result of its interaction with a thermal bath. We define CPTP maps ...
