Optimal Competitive Online Ray Search with an Error-Prone Robot
We consider the problem of finding a door along a wall with a blind robot that neither knows the distance to the door nor the direction towards of the door. This problem can be so...

MRSAM: a Quadratically Competitive Multi-robot Online Navigation Algorithm
— We explore an online problem where a group of robots has to find a target whose position is unknown in an unknown planar environment whose geometry is acquired by the robots d...

An Optimal Competitive Strategy for Walking in Streets
We present an optimal strategy for searching for a goal in a street which achieves the competitive factor of √ 2, thus matching the best lower bound known before. This finally ...

Competitive Searching in a Generalized Street
We consider the problem of a robot which has to find a target in an unknown simple polygon, based only on what it has seen so far. A street is a polygon for which the two boundary...

Searching with an autonomous robot
We discuss online strategies for visibility-based searching for an object hidden behind a corner, using Kurt3D, a real autonomous mobile robot. This task is closely related to a n...
