Area measurement of large closed regions with a mobile robot
How can a mobile robot measure the area of a closed region that is beyond its immediate sensing range? This problem, which we name as blind area measurement, is inspired from scout...

How a mobile robot selects landmarks to make a decision based on an information criterion
Most current mobile robots are designed to determine their actions according to their positions. Before making a decision, they need to localize themselves. Thus, their observation...
