Lifelong Exploratory Navigation: An Architecture for Safer Mobile Robots

Abstract

<italic xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">Editor’s notes:</i> This article studies a layered architecture for robotics design, proposes a contract-based interface between the layers, and shows how cross-layer adaptation between these layers can be done in response to different scenarios. – <italic xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">Samarjit Chakraborty, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill</i>
