Exploring an Unknown Cellular Environment
We investigate the exploration problem of a short-sighted mobile robot moving about in an unknown cellular room. In order to explore a cell, the robot must enter it. Once inside, ...

Learning Globally Consistent Maps by Relaxation
Mobile robots require the ability to build their own maps to operate in unknown environments. A fundamental problem is that odometry-based dead reckoning cannot be used to assign ...
