A Bayesian Regression Approach to Terrain Mapping and an Application to Legged Robot Locomotion

We deal with the problem of learning probabilistic models of terrain surfaces from sparse and noisy elevation measurements. The key idea is to formalize this as a regression problem and to derive a solution based on nonstationary Gaussian processes. We describe how to achieve a sparse approximation...
