Much of the focus of the research effort in path planning for mobile robots has centred on the problem of finding a path from a start location to a goal location, while minimising...
A blind traveler walking through an unfamiliar environment, and a mobile robot navigating through a cluttered environment have an important feature in common: both have the kinema...
An approach is presented for exploring an unknown, arbitrary surface in three-dimensional (3D) space by a mobile robot. The main contributions are (1) an analysis of the capabilit...

Abstract. This paper presents Webots: a realistic mobile robot simulator allowing a straightforward transfer to real robots. The simulator currently support the Khepera mobile robo...
The control of mobile robots acting autonomously in the real world is one of the long-term goals of the field of artificial intelligence. So far the field lacks methods bridging th...
Different applications in the field of vision-based navigation of autonomous mobile robots depend on the degree of knowledge of the environment. Indoor environment applications oft...
Our research addresses how to integrate exploration and localization for mobile robots. A robot exploring and mapping an unknown environment needs to know its own location, but it...
This paper presents further developments of the earlier Vector Field Histogram (VFH) method for realtime mobile robot obstacle avoidance. The enhanced method, called VFH+, offers ...
This paper proposes a hybrid approach to the problem of collision avoidance for indoor mobile robots. The DWA (short for: model-based dynamic window approach) integrates sensor dat...
