This paper presents a new information source for supporting robot localisation: material composition. The proposed method complements the existing visual, structural, and semantic cues utilized in the literature. However, it has a distinct advantage in its ability to differentiate structurally [23], visually [25] or categorically [1] similar objects such as different doors, by using Raman spectrom...
