— This article addresses the problem of autonomous map building and exploration of an unknown environment with mobile robots. The proposed method assumes that mobile robots use o...
— When an emergency occurs within a building, it may be initially safer to send autonomous mobile nodes, instead of human responders, to explore the area and identify hazards and...
This paper explores the use of bidding mechanisms to coordinate the actions requested by a group of agents in charge of achieving the task of guiding a robot towards a specified t...
Past work in navigation has worked toward the goal of producing an accurate map of the environment. While no one can deny the usefulness of such a map, the ideal of producing a co...
