Abstract :
POLLICINO is a system for autonomous mobile robot self-localization along previously learned routes in a dynamic environment. The system is based on a conical device that allows an omnidirectional perception of the environment and on a learning system. Robustness tests involving occlusion and robot rotations are presented
