This paper describes a technique whereby an autonomous agent such as a mobile robot can explore an unknown environment and make a topologicalmapofit. It is assumedthat the environ...
—A self-reconfigurable robot is a robotic device that can change its own shape. Self-reconfigurable robots are commonly built from multiple identical modules that can manipulat...
