— The creation of a robot capable of navigating in unknown urban environments without the use of GPS data or prior map knowledge is envisioned in the Autonomous City Explorer (AC...
— An autonomous robot system that is to act in a real-world environment is faced with the problem of having to deal with a high degree of both complexity as well as uncertainty. ...
— We consider systems of mobile robots that execute a transportation task and periodically recharge from a docking station. The location of the docking station has a considerable...
Abstract— Map information is important for path planning and self-localization when mobile robots accomplish autonomous tasks. In unknown environments, mobile robots should gener...
— Autonomous robots that operate in real-world domains face multiple challenges that make planning and goal selection difficult. Not only must planning and execution occur in re...
