In robotic navigation, path planning is aimed at getting the optimum collision-free
path between a starting and target locations. The optimality criterion depends on
the surround...
Abstract— We present a computational framework for automatic deployment of robots in 2D and 3D rectangular environments with polytopal obstacles. The results are derived for poly...
We present a general-purpose framework for updating a robot’s observation model within the context of planning and execution. Traditional plan execution relies on monitoring plan...
