Coastal Navigation: Mobile Robot Navigation with Uncertainty in Dynamic Environments
Ships often use the coasts of continents for navigation in the absence of better tools such as GPS, since being close to land allows sailors to determine with high accuracy where ...

Efficient Topological Exploration
We consider the robot exploration of a planar graphlike world. The robot's goal is to build a complete map of its environment. The environment is modeled as an arbitrary undi...
