We consider the problem of coverage and exploration of an unknown dynamic environment using a mobile robot(s). The environment is assumed to be large enough such that constant moti...
The availability of efficient mapping systems to produce accurate representations of initially unknown environments is recognized as one of the main requirements for autonomous mo...
Abstract--Continuum manipulators, inspired by the natural capabilities of elephant trunks and octopus tentacles, may find niche applications in areas like human
—Real mobile robots should be able to build an abstract representation of the physical environment, in order to navigate and to work in such environment. We present a method for ...
This paper investigates safe and efficient map-building strategies for a mobile robot with imperfect control and sensing. In the implementation, a robot equipped with a range sens...
