Planning of vision and motion for a mobile robot using a probabilistic model of uncertainty

Abstract

The authors propose a framework of unified planning of vision and motion with uncertainty. They use a probabilistic model to represent uncertainty and use statistical decision theory to make a unified plan of vision and motion. They describe a method of predicting the information acquired by a sensing operation and formulate the planning problem in a recurrence formula. They analyze vision-motion planning problem in a simple example and conclude that the combination of dynamic programming and hill-climbing is useful. Simulation results show the validity of the approach.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">&gt;</ETX>
