Abstract

This research enables robot explorers to maximize the total information gained while minimizing costs such as driving, sensing and planning. This paper presents a general methodology for solving complex exploration tasks which employs multiple sources of information. The paper also develops a specific instantiation of the method to solve the exploration problem of creating a complete traversability map of an unknown region. Simulation results showing the solution of this exploration task are included.
