Mobile Robot Navigation Exploration Algorithm
- This paper will present an algorithm for path planning to a goal with a mobile robot in an unknown environment. The robot maps the environment only to the extent that is necessary to achieve the goal. Mapping is achieved using tactile sensing while the robot is executing a path to the specified goal

Using Path Transforms to Guide the Search for Findpath in 2D
- This paper will present a new approach to the 2D findpath problem for robots which have 3 degrees of freedom of movement (3DOF). This approach is based upon a new extension to distance transform planning, called the path transform. Path transforms have the desirable potential fields property of taki

Autonomous Battery Recharging for Indoor Mobile Robots
- This paper describes a method for automatically recharging the batteries on a mobile robot. The robot used in this project is the Nomadic Technologies? Nomad XR4000 mobile robot. The battery recharging system was implemented using the robot's built-in sensors to control docking with a simple

Dealing with Robustness in Mobile Robot Guidance while Operating with Visual Strategies
- This paper introduces a theory to formally and practically analyze the robustness issues of visual guidance methods for robot navigation. The firstaspectisre- lated to the convergence of the navigation system to the goal. It will be shown how the dynamic system which drives the strategies can be an

Acquiring Mobile Robot Behaviors by Learning Trajectory Velocities
- The development of robots that learn from experience is a relentless challenge confronting artificial intelligence today. This paper describes a robot learning method which enables a mobile robot to simultaneously acquire the ability to avoid objects, follow walls, seek goals and control its velocit

An Exploratory Robot Controller which Adapts to Unknown Environments and Damaged Sensors
- In this paper we describe an adaptive mobile robot control system that enables a multi-sensor robot to learn reactive behaviours by interacting with the environment. The controller is particularly suitable for exploratory robots due to its ability to adapt to unknown environments and recover fr

Learning Mobile Robot Behaviours by Discovering Associations Between Input Vectors and Trajectory Velocities
- In this paper, we describe a reinforcement robot learning method which enables a mobile robot to simultaneously acquire the ability to avoid objects, follow walls and control its velocity as a result of interacting with its environment. Our approach differs to conventional reinforcement learning app

A Physically Grounded Search in a Behaviour Based Robot
- In this paper we present a theoretical analysis of a behaviour-based navigation system that we have developed for autonomous mobile robots. The robot navigates in an unknown environment, and avoids obstacles. While behaviour-based systems for robotics are currently being chosen over the well-establi

Integrating Spatial And Topological Navigation In A Behaviour-Based Multi-Robot Application
- According to the behaviour-based philosophy, the structure of an agent's internal representations of the environment should not be explicitly imposed by the designer; they should be grounded in its sensor-action space. This paper presents a scheme in which the agent's action selection mechanism giv

A Unified Approach to Planning, Sensing and Navigation for Mobile Robots
- 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 one or more parameters such as length of path, energy consumption or journey time. Most of the experimental results repo
