Fiber-optics gyroscopes (“gyros”) are gaining importance as a means for improving dead-reckoning accuracy in mobile robots. In the past, the relatively high drift rate of mode...
We consider the problem faced by a mobile robot that has to reach a given target by traveling through an unmapped region in the plane containing oriented rectangular obstacles. We...
