Why Robots Need Maps
Abstract. A large group of autonomous, mobile entities e.g. robots initially placed at some arbitrary node of the graph has to jointly visit all nodes (not necessarily all edges) a...

Information-Theoretic Approach to Efficient Adaptive Path Planning for Mobile Robotic Environmental Sensing
Recent research in robot exploration and mapping has focused on sampling environmental hotspot fields. This exploration task is formalized by Low, Dolan, and Khosla (2008) in a se...

Searching with an autonomous robot
We discuss online strategies for visibility-based searching for an object hidden behind a corner, using Kurt3D, a real autonomous mobile robot. This task is closely related to a n...
