— Partially Observable Markov Decision Processes (POMDPs) offer a powerful mathematical framework for making optimal action choices in noisy and/or uncertain environments, in par...
— This paper describes a panoramic view-based navigation in outdoor environments. We have been developing a two-phase navigation method. In the training phase, the robot acquires...
