— The ability of building maps of environments where they operate is one of the main requirements for autonomous mobile robots. An efficient map building process is based on a g...
Autonomous mobile robots are considered a valuable technology for search and rescue applications, where an initially unknown environment has to be explored to locate human victims...
—Real mobile robots should be able to build an abstract representation of the physical environment, in order to navigate and to work in such environment. We present a method for ...
The problem of programming a robot t o carry out a systematic exploration of its environment using realistic sensors is considered in this paper. The robot is modelled as a single...
The availability of efficient mapping systems to produce accurate representations of initially unknown environments is recognized as one of the main requirements for autonomous mo...
